EUR 39.900,-

Rolex Day-Date reference 1803 in very good condition. This exceptionally rare example from 1977 features its original brown Stella lacquer dial, one of the most sought-after and rare configurations within the Day-Date line. The brown variant in particular is among the rarest Stella colors ever produced and is seldom seen on the market today. Stella dials, known for their vividly colored, high-gloss lacquer surfaces, were manufactured in relatively small numbers and are now highly valued by collectors. Combined with the classic yellow gold case and the iconic President bracelet, this timepiece perfectly captures the bold aesthetic of the 1970s. A rare opportunity to acquire a highly collectible piece of Rolex history in remarkable condition.

The President Watch

Day-Date

The Rolex Day-Date is the watch that is most often seen on the wrists of presidents, leaders and visionaries and is considered by Rolex as an 'International Symbol' of success.

Exclusive elegance

President Bracelet

The three-row metal bracelet with rounded elements was introduced in 1956 with the presentation of the prestigious Day-Date model. The President's Band is still reserved for the Day-Date models and some gold Ladies' Datejust models. It is always equipped with the elegant invisible Rolex Crownclasp clasp.

Brandstory

Rolex

Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex is now the world's best-selling watch manufacturer. At a time when wristwatches were only worn by women as jewellery, Rolex established the history of the men's wristwatch by succeeding in building a wristwatch robust enough for everyday use. Today, Rolex is still the industry leader in the field of durable everyday watches and founded the concept of the Toolwatch. From the depths of the oceans to the heights of aviation, Rolex's professional models are valued by professionals and today enjoy exceptionally high collector's values.

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
