Considered as an everyday dress watch and worn by the most influential men and women of the century, the Day-date was only available in precious metals, including yellow, rose and white gold as well as platinum.Among the different generations of Day Date, the 1803 is the most famous iteration.Produced between 1961 and 1977, it is THE reference to have when it comes to this model.The present model is a rare version crafted in pink gold with matching president bracelet, placing it apart from the vast majority of the production that was made in yellow gold. It is fitted with the correct "Swiss only" silvered dial perfectly complementing the case and that has the typical and sought-after "doorstop" quarter indexes at 6 and 9 as well as the rare blade hands.Further to its rarity and collectiblity, the pink gold provides an incredibly attractive vintage charm to this central reference in the history of Rolex.

Despite its full yellow gold configuration, the model was tightly based on its stainless-steel counterpart, the reference 16610, using the same newly introduced calibre 3135 featuring a convenient hacking seconds function and quick date setting.While the very vast majority of these pieces were fitted with a standard blue or black dial and matching bezel, a few pieces were adorned by a gem set dial nicknamed Sultan dial. This specimen is a rare example with a champagne dial alternating diamonds and sapphires, making this piece exceptional and collectible.

Follow its success, the firm introduced reference 1675 in 1959, which remained in production until 1980 before it was later replaced by reference 16750. Over its 20 year run the 1675 was available in gold, steel and a combination of the two. This present timepiece is crafted in yellow gold with its riveted bracelet, which sets it apart from the vast majority of the 1675 produced. Furthermore, it is fitted with the most attractive chocolate brown dial with nipple indexes and matching bezel. This livery is highly praised by collectors as it creates a wonderful charm and vintage feel.

Even if the 16520 was produced&nbsp;for only a dozen years, the model&nbsp;saw several developments, mainly consisting in the layout of the dial. In fact, 5 different changes have been identified.&nbsp; This piece belongs to the fourth evolution that corresponds to watches produced between the end of 1993 and 1998. The 4th series&nbsp;is recognizable with the introduction of new, flatter and bolder font for the numerals in the subsidiary dial as well as the "straight 6" in the chronograph hour&nbsp;subsidiary dial.&nbsp;It is the final series using tritium as luminescent material. The subsidiary dials of this specimen have highly attractive Patrizzi tropical brown, further enhancing the desirability of this timepiece. Additionally, the case has been preserved in superior condition, with attractive proportions and even the original green sticker on the case.
