When you start collecting vintage Rolex Day Dates you slowly realize how many variants are available. So many different reference numbers and variations from dial colors/finishes, case colors/finishes, bracelet textures/designs, and so much more. The Day Date model was introduced in 1956, it was the first watch to display both the day and date in full which was an innovation ahead of its time. The day date model was mainly created in precious metals and today we have an exceptional time capsule to offer.
Here we have the vintage Rolex Day Date with an ultra-rare ghost grey dial in 18kt white gold from 1973. What makes this dial so special is how all the white text disappears into the light grey dial when turned slightly on an angle with only the Rolex coronet showing at 12 O’clock which gives it that ghost effect.
It is a very under-the-radar Day Date and as everyone likes to say, stealth wealth. It is the reference 1803 which signifies its non-quickset day and date functions as well as the acrylic crystal. The bracelet fits wrist sizes of 6.5-7.5 inches. Nice creamy lume on the white gold hands and the dial. 18kt white gold case, bracelet, crown, and case back. 20mm lug width and 36mm case size. All parts are original including dial, movement, and caseback. Both the dial and case are in great cosmetic, untouched condition.
