Note du spécialiste

The present reference 1803 is a very rare and well preserved example of the much-sought after “red quarters” dial.

The dial can be easily distinguished from the more common white dial by the red numerals printed on the quarters of the outer second scale. Besides being extremely eye catching, it is considered by collectors one of the rarest Day-Date configuration. A final touch of rarity and appeal is given by the exotic Spanish calendar disc and the original Rolex Guarantee.
