Rolex Day-Date with Unique Patina Dial Ref. 1803 in 18K Yellow Gold

Every so often, a watch with an "imperfection" crosses our path, and after some thought, we realize, this is absolutely incredible.

Here we have a captivating Day-Date, originally featuring a "Havana beige" dial that has aged into something wonderfully unique. Its patina evokes comparisons to modern art—a blend of textures and tones that could be dubbed "World Map patina" or "Brutalist movement" dial. Whatever you call it, this is the kind of aesthetic that either captivates your heart or doesn't—but for those who get it, this watch is an absolute gem.

Housed in a 36mm yellow gold case, this vintage treasure has a warm and autumnal vibe that’s complemented by the Spanish day disc. Paired with a beautiful Bulang & Sons leather strap, it radiates personality and charm.

Fully serviced by our watchmaker, this Day-Date is waiting for a patina lover who will truly appreciate its artistic, one-of-a-kind character.

This Day-Date isn’t just a watch—it’s a piece of art. Reach out, and let’s make it yours!
