Rolex Day-Date in 18k White Gold "Double Dash" Dial Ref. 1802

Few Rolex models capture the imagination quite like the Ref. 18xx Day-Date series. With its iconic case design, boxy plexiglass crystals, and distinctive ‘pie-pan’ dials, this watch blends form and function in a classic 36mm package. As Rolex’s flagship model, it has been worn by movie stars, presidents (including L.B. Johnson, the first U.S. President to wear one), and captains of industry. Even if you don’t belong to this elite group, the association remains impressive!

While the yellow gold variant has long been the go-to choice for Day-Date enthusiasts, symbolizing success, the Day-Date was also the first watch to feature both day and date complications in a waterproof design.

Currently available is the rare Ref. 1802, which features a smooth bezel—already a unique find! This piece is crafted in white gold and showcases an exceptionally rare dial variant. Notably, it sports the seldom-seen “double dash” dial, where both the Day-Date and Oyster Perpetual texts include hyphens. The day disc is presented in Italian, adding to its unique charm.

This elegant Day-Date comes on a Bulang and Sons strap and has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
