In 1961, an icon was born. The 1803. However, the piece we can offer you is not your regular 1803 but an 1803/9. Meaning it has an 18k white-gold fluted bezel and case. This doesn't stick out as much as the yellow-gold ones and even more, when it's paired with a black leather Rolex strap - like this one - it truly becomes a classy dress watch. This elegant dress watch measures 36mm in diameter and dates back to 1969. What we truly love about this stunner, is the doorstop index. Basically, the 6- and 9-hour markers deviate from the other 18k white-gold hour markers as they are bigger and have the shape of a doorstop. Behind the plexi crystal, we find a silver pie pan dial with tritium plots. The watch is powered by the self-winding caliber 1556. 

Introduction

Rolex Day-DateIn 1956, Rolex introduced one the most iconic watches ever made: the Day-Date. The Day-Date was the first waterproof self-winding chronometer certified wristwatch with a day and date function. And to top it off, it was only available in gold or platinum! Rolex also designed a new three-link bracelet, known as the ‘President,’ to pair with this special watch. With exception of the most modern executions, the Day-Date comes exclusively in a 36mm case.This is the very essence of luxurious time-keepin. Thanks to its popularity among a lot of prestigious people (for example, lots of presidents, hence, its nickname), it became Rolex’ flagship model. Over the years this model enjoyed associations with various ‘kinds of people’, from celebrities to mafiosi (like Tony Soprano). They had all one thing in common: being successful in their area of expertise. To this day the Day-Date is still synonymous with prestige and style. With exception of the most modern models, the Day-Date comes in at 36mm. Do you earn this watch?
