Introduced in 1959, reference 1804 represents one of the most distinguished and collectible variants of Rolex’s iconic Day-Date. Produced in precious metals, the reference is distinguished by its factory-set diamond bezel, lending the watch an unmistakably luxurious character. The present example is particularly captivating for its striking blue soleil dial, whose rich, radiant surface changes subtly with the light. The dial is further enhanced by elegant diamond-set hour markers, while the applied Sigma signatures at 6 o’clock are a distinctive detail associated with the use of precious metal hour markers. The signature day and date displays appear in Arabic at 12 and 3 o’clock respectively, further enhancing the watch’s character. Encased in 18K white gold and measuring approximately 36 mm in diameter, the watch retains the classic proportions of the early Day-Date while offering an exceptionally refined and luxurious interpretation. Powered by Rolex’s self-winding Caliber 1556, it combines the timeless appeal of the Day-Date with the rarity and sophistication of its exceptional blue soleil dial.
