Rolex introduced a new reference system for the Day-Date model with 1803 that could have a yellow, white or pink-gold case with reeded bezel and Plexiglas crystal. The present example is a reference 1803 that was manufactured in 1964, and has been retained in good and original condition. Its attractiveness is further increased by the massive 18k pink-gold case with screw down the crown and back, reeded bezel and original hallmarks still visible. This very specimen has a wonderful black gilt dial with applied dart indexes and most of all is equipped with a definitely unusual day wheel in Portuguese likely made for the Brazilian market. Rolex tailored the Day-Date for markets around the world, and accordingly, the day indication was offered in 26 different languages. The watch is also equipped with a nice and solid pink-gold jubilee bracelet with original Rolex clasp signed Gay Freres, making a big presence on the wrist.
