Note du spécialiste

Rolex introduced the reference 1803 in 1961 and continued production until approximately 1978. The manufacturer introduced a new reference system for the Day-Date model with 1803 referring to a yellow, white or pink gold model with reeded bezel and plexiglass crystal. The reference 1802 had a polished bezel, while 1804 referred to platinum examples, 1806 in yellow gold with a Tuscan finished case and the reference 1807 in yellow or pink gold with bark effect.

Reference 1803 is illustrated in 100 Years of Rolex by F. & G. Mondani, 2008, p.
