This Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1802 is a rare and elegant timepiece from the early production of the iconic Day-Date line. Unlike its more common counterparts, this reference features a smooth bezel, enhancing its understated sophistication. Powered by the Rolex Caliber 1555 automatic movement, it ensures precision and reliability. The highlight of this model is its rare "Doorstep" dial, distinguished by elongated rectangular hour markers at 6 and 9 o’clock, resembling a doorstep. This unique dial layout, combined with classic applied indices and the iconic day and date windows, offers a refined yet vintage aesthetic. Encased in a 36mm 18k gold Oyster case, this early Day-Date pairs beautifully with either an original President bracelet or a leather strap for a more classic look. A highly collectible piece, the Ref. 1802 with a Doorstep dial embodies Rolex’s legacy of timeless elegance and craftsmanship.
