Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 Ghost
Straight Facts
The Rolex Day-Date is one of the most historically important watches ever to be produced. From its striking design to its place on the wrist of pop culture royalty, it has solidified itself as the watch to wear. This gorgeous and rare example produced in 1972is one of the most well preserved and interesting I have seen in a long time. It features a crisp case, and an ultra desirable ghost dial that gives off an incredible depth. This is a truly special piece and I couldn't be happier to offer it in the Watch Shop at the link in our bio!
