{"product_id":"day-date-1803","title":"Day-Date 1803","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt first glance, this might look like your classic 1803. Fluted bezel, sharp pie-pan dial, and that unmistakable Day-Date presence. But look closer, and you’ll spot something that makes collectors lean in: a “Made in Japan” President bracelet. Back in the day, Japan slapped heavy import taxes on fully assembled Swiss watches. Rolex, never one to lose a sale, pulled a clever move—ship the heads only, and have the bracelets made locally. The result? A small batch of Day-Dates fitted with Japanese-made President bracelets. Identical in style, but stamped with a different origin story. The rounded dial on this one keeps things soft and elegant, pairing beautifully with the warm tone of the vintage gold case. Inside ticks the trusty automatic Caliber 1556—no quickset, but all soul. This isn’t just a Day-Date. It’s a quiet piece of Rolex history disguised as a wristwatch. And unless someone knows what they’re looking at, they’ll never guess why it’s so rare.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56912736289103,"sku":null,"price":14900.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/2359\/9951\/files\/N37A4393Kopie.jpg?v=1773417521","url":"https:\/\/www.lazulivintagewatches.com\/products\/day-date-1803","provider":"Lazuli Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
