This highly collectible Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 is presented in outstanding condition and represents one of the most sought-after configurations of the model. The case retains exceptionally thick and sharply defined lugs, showing only light signs of wear and suggesting minimal prior polishing. The fluted bezel remains crisp and well preserved, further underscoring the strong overall case integrity. What sets this example apart is the exceptionally rare period-correct pie pan dark grey dial. This dial variant is among the hardest to find for the reference and is preserved in near-mint condition, with no visible aging, spotting, or flaking. The luminous hour markers and matching hands are beautifully intact, maintaining a cohesive and original appearance that is seldom seen at this level of preservation. The movement was professionally serviced in November 2025 by a Rolex-trained watchmaker and is running properly. All case engravings and numbers are clear and fully legible, with a 3.7 million serial placing production around 1973. The watch is paired with a high-quality vintage dark brown leather strap in a 20/16mm configuration, fitted with a gold-plated pin buckle, completing a highly desirable and historically significant Day-Date offering. **Reference:** 1803 **Size:** 36mm **Year:** 1973 📜 Includes: Custom [travel pouch](https://bogossia.com/products/travel-carrying-case) ($50+ value) 💵 Price: $11,400 + FREE overnight shipping with FedEx fully insured.
