Rolex Day-Date “Cigarette” Hands Reference 1803 on Brick Bracelet Unpolished

This Rolex Day-Date reference 1803 is a spectacular example with the uncommon “cigarette” hands. These are found in very few examples from the mid 1960s. The case is 18k yellow gold and measures 36mm in diameter. The case appears to be unpolished. It has a 961,XXX serial dating to 1964. It is paired on a brick style Rolex bracelet with Florentine finish by Gay Freres dating to 1963. It is not likely that the watch was born/sold on this bracelet, but it looks incredible and complements the Day-Date very well. The clasp on the bracelet is lightly polished.

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.
