Today's offering showcases this very fine and rare Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned gentleman's Rolex Day Date President ref. 1803 watch in white gold.

For many watch connoisseurs, the special Rolex featured in today's offering needs no introduction... Nicknamed "The President" after Rolex gave one to Dwight Eisenhower, the Day-Date, the company's flagship model, is the most recognizable elite luxury watch in the world. Examples can be found adorning prominent wrists around Hollywood (Tom Cruise's, Sean Penn's, Ray Liotta's, and Danny DeVito's to name a few) and in boardrooms around the world.

To own a vintage Rolex President is to claim a true distinction. To own an 18K white gold President, is to own both a true distinction and a rarity.

Our authentic Rolex President has previously been upgraded with an aftermarket diamond bezel with large brilliant diamonds that are stunning! It has over 45 brilliant cut sparkling diamonds and is full of fire. The diamonds are eye clean and white and radiate in the light.

Its original silver Rolex dial is also set with diamonds, like done in the aftermarket as well, to complete its luxurious presentation.

It presents in beautiful condition. Its case presents as mint with fairly light signs of previous polishing. Its dial also presents as mint.

A Master Watchmaker has freshly serviced the movement which consisted of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $895 value).

It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying the watch are a Rolex pouch, booklets, folio, folder (without papers), and tags.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

MSRP for a new Rolex President (on a gold bracelet but without diamonds): $39,500.00 USD + tax
