Rolex 1803 Day Date

The Rolex 1803 Day-Date is, honestly, one of those watches that just never stops being fascinating; introduced in 1956, it was the first wristwatch to spell out the day of the week in full, and by the 1960s, the 1803 version—with its sharp fluted bezel and pie-pan dial—really hit its stride. If you’ve ever gotten lost in vintage watch rabbit holes (guilty), you know how coveted these are, and at Tropical Watch, you’ll find them curated with a sharp eye for patina and provenance.
