Hello!

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

Rolex Day-Date PG All Tritium
Ref. 1803/5 Serial. 68 (manufactured around 1960-61)
Cal. 1555 7286 Clasp 66.1
Accessories: Warranty (India) and Chronometer Certificate
SOLD OUT!!

The vintage Day-Date "Ref. 1803" was manufactured from around 1959 to the late 1970s.

The model we are introducing today is the Ref. 1803/5, an 18K pink gold specification,
which is overwhelmingly rare among vintage Day-Dates.

Its soft and elegant color, distinct from the yellow gold model, is captivating,
making it a model that allows you to fully appreciate its understated luxury.

For reference, here is a comparison photo with an 1803/YG solid (right).
Can you see the difference in color when compared like this?

It might be a bit difficult to convey individually, but when comparing the two side by side,
the difference in color is surprisingly clear.

You can clearly see the soft, warm color unique to pink gold,
which is different from yellow gold.

Furthermore, a major appeal of this piece is that it features
wedge-shaped indexes and alpha hands, characteristic of early Day-Dates!!

The sharp wedge-shaped indexes and beautifully drawn alpha hands
are highlights unique to early models.

The sharp and three-dimensional design exudes a classical atmosphere not found in later models.

While simple, it possesses an outstanding presence,
allowing you to enjoy the unique world of vintage Rolex!!

The dial has natural signs of aging, which is part of the vintage charm.

It harmonizes beautifully with the well-used case,
and the overall atmosphere is not at all diminished.

The luminous material is all tritium. The alpha hands look great!

The finely-ridged early fluted bezel also has a charming appeal.

The condition shows some scuffs and scratches commensurate with its age,
but there are no major scratches and the overall condition is good!!

The case is solid for a piece manufactured around 1960.

The buckle clasp is from the first quarter of 1966.

The later bracelet has some stretch,
but it sits comfortably on the wrist!

The accessories include a warranty and a chronometer certificate!!
According to the warranty, it bears the stamp of a long-established jewelry and watch store in Kolkata, India.

Wrist shot!!
This is a very charming and rare solid PG Day-Date!
The PG case has an even better color than in the photos,
so please take a look at it in person!!

Vintage Day-Date solid PG model "Ref. 1803/5 60-61"
With its wedge-shaped indexes and alpha hands, this early 1803 Day-Date
exudes a wonderful vintage atmosphere and is very stylish!
As four-digit Day-Dates become rarer, a solid PG Day-Date is truly a rare find.
For customers looking for a charming vintage Day-Date, please consider this model!
