{"product_id":"rolex-day-date-ref-1803-wide-boy","title":"Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 \"Wide Boy\"","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Day-Date reference 1803 was produced from 1956 through the late 1970s, and in that time it became the definitive statement of what a Rolex in solid gold could be — worn by heads of state, business leaders, and anyone for whom a watch was as much a declaration as a timepiece. The \"Wide Boy\" designation refers to the broader, more substantial case profile of certain 1803 examples, a collector term that has stuck precisely because it captures something real about the way these pieces wear differently from their slimmer counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Japanese market configuration adds a further layer of distinction. Rolex produced specific dial variants for the Japanese market — most notably omitting the luminous material from both the dial indices and the hands, resulting in a cleaner, more graphic composition. Against the champagne dial, the applied gold baton indices and matching hands read entirely through contrast rather than lume, giving the whole a refinement that the standard lume-filled version cannot quite match. It is a detail that separates this example from the majority of 1803s encountered on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe champagne dial — monochromatic, warm, gold on gold — is the 1803 at its most coherent: a watch that disappears into itself, every element the same temperature, legibility emerging from shadow alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Wide Boy Day-Date in yellow gold with Japanese no-lume specification is a specific and genuinely uncommon configuration. The kind of 1803 that collectors who know the reference seek out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabiwatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554039632136,"sku":null,"price":10900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/3477\/8632\/files\/DSC07315.jpg?v=1788509504","url":"https:\/\/sabiwatches.com\/products\/rolex-day-date-ref-1803-wide-boy","provider":"Sabiwatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
