1964 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 18k White Gold "No Lume" Soleil Silver Dial 1803 with COSC papers and 1967 Osaka Rolex Service Center papers

A fantastic 1964 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date in 18k white gold, reference 1803, featuring an ultra rare "no lume" silver soleil dial with matching sword hands.

In the early 1960s, Rolex produced a rare and refined variation of the Day-Date specifically for the Japanese market—an elegant no-lume model in 18k white gold. These early “Japanese” Day-Dates stood out for their minimalist dials, which omitted both luminous markers and hands, offering a clean, understated aesthetic that aligned with the refined tastes and cultural preferences of the region. Often featuring pie-pan dials and subtle markers, these watches embodied a quiet luxury that contrasted with the more commonly seen luminous models. The use of 18k white gold added to their discreet opulence, blending precious metal craftsmanship with timeless simplicity. Powered by early automatic Day-Date calibers like the 1555, these pieces not only reflected Rolex’s dedication to quality but also its sensitivity to international markets. Today, these no-lume white gold Day-Dates are prized by collectors for their rarity, purity of design, and historical significance.
