Rolex Day Date Ref. 1803 Rare Pink Gold Vintage Watch

This is a Rare Rolex Pink Gold Day Date, note the dial itself is rare because ths index is triangular shape, with 5 diamonds. It has gone through many summers and winters. It has some minor discolouration. But the dial is original. The case has not been polished at all. What if I got the money, I can enroll it as a new entry into my Day Date Collection.

In the beginning, the oyster bezel fluting has a functional purpose, it served to screw the bezel on the case, helping to ensure the waterproofness of the Oyster Watch, and It has the same fluting design and dimension at the base of the case. It has to be operated by specific Rolex Oyster Tool. The Bezel evolved over time and later would be friction fitted onto the crystal and the case. The Fluting because an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex Signature feature. A mark of distinction that is only available on Yellow Gold, EverRose, and White Gold Day Date watch. So this bare bezel is what… Well this is the Rolex Most Expensive version of Day Date: Platinum Watch , it does not come with any Fluted Bezel at all. The Picture shown here is a down to the Earth Ultra Low Profile Rolex Oyster Watch. Most os the people does not know that this is a Top Flagshp watch of Rolex., as they think this is a Cheap version of Stainless Steel watch that is having no Fluted Bezel for Cost Control.
In fact this is a watch of HKD$400,000.00!

Ps
For those Stainless steel Oyster Date Justs, the Bezel is made of 18Kt White gold, and most of the people thought that is Stainless steel.

I have seen this Rare Colour of Rolex Ref.1803 Day Date in White Gold Today.

Very Low profile on the case and High profile on his colour. Excellent for Senior executive.

Private Collection of Paul.

HK Snob

The bunches of Rolexes are of some of the mostly Collectible Dia Colour. Amongst them the Water Melon red is rarest, then light blue, and yellow. Black one is onyx. I have never seen a Yellow one yet. These watches are belonging to Paul. Collector and dealer of Watch in HK.

HK Snob

I believe that there is less than handful of people who has enough money of HKD6,900 in the 70s and at the same time appreciate such kind of colour of RED. So by today, this is likely the most difficult to find RED DD of Ref. 1803.

This is definitely one of the rarest Rolex Day Date Ref. 1803 as the Dial Ferrari Red! I have been walking through many of the Singapore watch Shops last week with help of Uncle Jack, and almost all the shops in Macao and HK. I could not find out one. The owner of this watch is not me, he is Paul. Paul has been collecting watch for 25 years, I am waiting for him to sell this to me, but that must cost me a big fortune. It comes with Original bracelet, the previous owner is a 77 Years old man who had owned this watch for 20 years, he sold this to Paul two weeks ago. The watch color is rare, same as the Daytona Red, which was the world RECORD for US$170,600.00 in 2004.

Ref. 18038

Ref. 1803

These are two major versions of Day date, the former one with plastic crystal, and the later one with Sapphire. The former model Ref 1803 is thinner; the later version Ref 18038 is thicker. The former one is having a dial with a curved and truncated dial at the rim of it. Where 18038 is flat. As far as accuracy is concern, basically they are both the same under the same Rolex quality. As for my preference, I do not see any one is better than others. The 1803 is classic. Slimmer. Warmers and more isometric in the outlook due to the slant dial. The 18038 has a new caliber, more durable, scratches proof, big looks thicker. Less elegant. So I think I will wear new newer 18038 for work and 1803 for meeting my watch collectors during week end. Value, I think all depends on the dial, I like dial with diamond, as they are rarer, and the one with Purple dial is extremely rare… I love it. HK Snob

I decided to take my Rolex Day Date for a Hiking Run from Needle hill, Grassy Hill, lead Mine Pass thne runnign to the Shing Mun Reserviour main Dam to end this 9 KM Trail as a serious rugged Reliability test for my Rolex. It was OK and Proven no trouble after the Hiking. So I can confirm that Day Date is as strong as tough as the Submariner and Or Explorer series. As one of my colleague used to wear a Stainless steel, Rolex Date Just for Trailwalker in the past three years. And I am sure that Rolex can be used fo Golf, other likes Patek Philippe and Or AP may not be tough as Rolex in this application field, Correct me if I am wrong. as I dare not use an AP or Patek Pilippe for my Hiking! As I used to say, Rolex Day Date is your everyday Time Piece!
HK Snob

A Rolex Day Date is best as for my workhorse, as it looks white, and many people would think it is stainless steel watch, so wearing it daily bears no showy intention. It is reliable, durable, water-resistant, shock-proof, beautiful, right size of 36mm matching perfectly with my wrist. And most important Accurate, it might need no adjustment for months. It can be left untouched Saturday and Sunday, and pick up Monday morning for use whilst it keep accurate timing, It reserve power for 60 hours. It is the flag ship of Rolex, and heard from Rolex people that the best calibre was selected and insert into the precious metal gold case of Day Date… Well, this is a few shots of my Yellow and White Gold Rolex Day date whilst I was going to office in Taxi.

One of the managers asked me what “White Gold” is? Is that Platinum? I said white Gold is “Gold” mixed with certain percentage of other elements like Zinc, copper. Platinum is another white grey colour element but totally another different element.
Interpretation of “White Gold” is “Platinum”… this is common wrong perception of most of the people.
Platinum
Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewelry in almost its pure form (approximately 95% pure). Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold. Platinum is very expensive, dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.
Yellow Gold
Pure Gold 24kt is comparatively too soft and is not advised to make watches.
Gold has its own colour that no other metal can replace. The Chinese temple has been painted with gold colour as the paint has blended with powder of gold.
White Gold
White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver, Zinc, Copper and palladium. White gold can be 18kt, 14kt, 9kt or any karat. For example, 18kt yellow gold is made by mixing 75% gold (750 parts per thousand) with 25% (250 parts per thousand) other metals such as copper and zinc. 18kt white gold is made by mixing 75% gold with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium. So the amount of gold is the same but the alloy is different. Traditionally nickel was used in white gold, however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold made today as nickel can cause reactions with some people. We do not use nickel in our white gold. When white gold rings are new they are coated with another white metal called Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal very similar to platinum and Rhodium shares many of the properties of platinum including its white color. The rhodium plating is used to make the white gold look more white. The natural color of white gold is actually a light grey color. The Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear away eventually. To keep a white gold ring looking its best it should be re-rhodium plated approximately each 12 months.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is a gold and copper alloy widely used for specialized jewelry. It is also known as pink gold and red gold. As it was popular in Russia at the beginning of the 19th century, it is also known as Russian gold, although this term has become somewhat rare.Although the names are often used interchangeably, the difference between red, rose, and pink gold is the copper content – the higher the copper content, the stronger the red coloration. A common alloy for rose gold is 75% gold and 25% copper by mass (18 karat). Since rose gold is an alloy, there is no such thing as "pure rose gold".
A common formulation for red gold is 50% gold and 50% copper. Up to 15% zinc can be added to copper-rich alloys to change their color to reddish yellow or dark yellow.
Crown gold
The highest karat version of rose gold is also known as crown gold, which is 22 karat. 18kt red gold may be made of 25% copper and 75% gold. For 18 karat rose gold, typically about 4% silver is added to 75% gold and 21% copper to give a rose color. 14 kt red gold is often found in the Middle East and contains 41.67% copper.
Purple gold
Purple gold is also called amethyst gold and violet gold is an alloy of gold and aluminum rich in gold-aluminium intermetallic (AuAl2). Gold content in AuAl2 is around 79% and can therefore be referred to as 18 karat gold. Purple gold is more brittle than other gold alloys, as it is an intermetallic compound instead of a malleable alloy, and a sharp blow may cause it to shatter. It is therefore usually machined and faceted to be used as a "gem" in conventional jewelry rather than by itself. In Chang Yi airport of Singapore, there is a gold smith selling Purple Gold, It is purple and shinning, quite attractive for jeweler, but I guess you can not tell it is gold. At lower content of gold, the material is composed of the intermetallic and an aluminium-rich solid solution phase. At higher content of gold, the gold-richer intermetallic AuAl forms; the purple color is preserved to about 15% of aluminium. At 88% of gold the material is composed of AuAl and changes color. The actual composition of AuAl2 is closer to Al11Au6 as the sub-lattice is incompletely occupied.
Blue Gold
Blue gold is an alloy of gold and indium. It contains 46% gold (about 12 ct) and 54% indium, forming an intermetallic compound AuIn2, with a clear blue color. With gallium, gold forms an intermetallic AuGa2 (58.5% Au, 14ct) which has slight bluish hue. The melting point of AuIn2 is 541 °C, for AuGa2 it is 492 °C. AuIn2 is less brittle than AuGa2, which itself is less brittle than AuAl2.
All the AuX2 intermetallics have crystal structure of CaF2 and therefore are brittle. A small amount of palladium, copper or silver can be added to achieve a less brittle microstructure. The intermetallic compounds tend to have poor corrosion resistance. The less noble elements are leached to the environment, and a gold-rich surface layer is formed. Direct contact of blue and purple gold elements with skin should be avoided as exposition to sweat may result in metal leaching and discoloration of the metal surface.
A surface plating of blue gold on karat gold or sterling silver can be achieved by a gold plating of the surface, followed by indium plating, with layer thickness matching the 1:2 atomic ratio. A heat treatment then causes inter-diffusion of the metals and formation of the required intermetallic compound.
