Worn by heads of state and figures of consequence across the globe, it established a template for the prestige automatic that has never been seriously challenged. In yellow gold with a diamond dial, it arrives in its most uncompromising configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis particular example carries two details that elevate it considerably. The diamond dial features the characteristic mix of round brilliant and baguette-cut stones at the principal hours, a factory original combination that Rolex applied with considerable care, the stones set directly into the champagne surface. And then there is the \"ghost\" effect: the dial has faded over decades to a warm, almost translucent taupe, the original champagne lacquer having migrated toward a cooler, more complex tone that reads differently in every light. It is a transformation that cannot be ordered, only waited for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe case presents unpolished, its yellow gold retaining the original surfaces and proportions that polishing inevitably softens. In top condition throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA ghost dial 1803 with diamonds, unpolished and honest is the kind of Day-Date that serious collectors actually want.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabiwatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58097875910920,"sku":null,"price":12900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/3477\/8632\/files\/DSC07415.jpg?v=1790344940","url":"https:\/\/sabiwatches.com\/products\/rolex-day-date-ref-1803-in-18k-yellow-gold-diamond-dial","provider":"Sabiwatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
