No. 2464 - This is top condition! Guaranteed! Vintage Day-Date YG Solid 1803/8 Champagne Dial All-Tritium - Introducing an excellent example!

Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza.
Today, I'd like to introduce a recommended vintage Day-Date model!

ROLEX Day-Date All Tritium
Ref.1803/8 Serial.51 (Manufactured around 1976-77)
Cal.1556 Japan Bracelet
Accessories: Box, warranty card (Hong Kong/Open)
In-store sales price: 3,993,000 JPY (incl. tax)

The vintage Day-Date "Ref.1803" was manufactured from the 1960s to the late 1970s.
The model we are introducing today features a champagne dial, a classic color for dress watches.  

A distinctive feature of the 4-digit Day-Date is its dial, where the outer rim is stepped down,
making the center of the dial appear raised.

This stepped-down dial on the outer rim, which evokes a vintage atmosphere,
maintains an outstanding condition for a watch manufactured around 1973.

Look at this beautiful condition!
It's in a superb state with no flaws, even under a loupe!

The luminous material on the indexes is in perfect condition with no loss!

Although there are some scuffs and minor scratches from use,
the case and bracelet remain in excellent condition.

As you can see, the mid-case has sharply defined edges!
It's rare to find an 1803 with a case in such excellent condition.

The bracelet is a rare "Japan Bracelet" specification!

This is a full gold bracelet made in Japan, commonly known as the "Japan Bracelet,"
with "MADE IN JAPAN" stamped on the inner plate of the buckle.

At that time, import duties from Switzerland were high,
so only the watch body was shipped, and bracelets were manufactured in various countries.

This particular piece comes with a warranty card issued by Rolex Hong Kong,
and the stamp on the guarantee indicates that it was originally sold with a leather strap.

Additionally, a warranty card with a serial number issued by Mitsukoshi in 1978 is also included.

Therefore, while it cannot be definitively stated, it is highly likely that the original owner purchased a Japan Bracelet at Mitsukoshi
and later had the watch converted to a bracelet specification.

While it remains speculative,
it's a very intriguing piece that allows us to glimpse its history through its accessories.

The ability to imagine such a background
is also one of the unique charms of vintage Rolex!

The Japan Bracelet, unfortunately, has a small wrist size of up to 15.5cm,
but its condition is surprisingly excellent!

The crisp bracelet is in top condition with almost no slack!

This is the first time I've seen a Japan Bracelet in such good condition.

It looks great!
It's a very impressive vintage Day-Date!

Accessories include the box, warranty card, Mitsukoshi warranty card, spring bar purchase/delivery statement,
and chronometer tag!

Wrist shot!
