Rolex. A fine and extremely rare 18K white gold automatic wristwatch with "wide boy" dial, day, date, sweep centre seconds and bracelet

One of the most elegant, understated and at the same time coveted version of the DayDate, this example of 18K white gold reference 1803 is distinguished by its monochrome white look, fully exploited even on the bracelet. The appeal of this icy beauty is further amplified by the rare wide baton numerals (thus its nickname "wide boy") which adds character and aesthetic impact to the overall look of the piece.

It is interesting to note that this wide boy dial presents the \ks\KT Swiss T\ks\K designation. Wide boy dials were made from the beginning of the 1970s to the beginning of the first half of the 1970s. The \ks\K T Swiss T\ks\K designation can be found on Day Date models only for very few years around the mid-1970s. While both these characteristics are a sought after rarity, finding them together on the same dial is an exceedingly unusual occurrence.
