Specialist note
This early ref. 1803 Day-Date with white matte dial is preserved in very good overall condition.
In production from 1959 to 1977, reference 1803 can be considered the most classical of all Day-Date references: its case strikes the perfect balance between sporty and elegant, and the ribbed bezel has grown to become the bezel collectors think of when imagining a Day-Date. It is the chef d’oeuvre against which all Day-Date models are weighted.
