Rolex Day-Date President 1810

Reference 1810 identifies an exceptionally rare, factory-engraved model from the non-quickset 18xx Day-Date series, produced in very small numbers during the 1960s and 1970s. Its technical distinction, denoted by the 10 suffix, is a comprehensive, hand-engraved finish. This is not merely a bezel texture, but a deep, swirling pattern applied across the entire surface of the Oyster case and the matching President bracelet. The watch is powered by the non-quickset calibers of its era, initially the Cal. 1555 and later the higher-frequency Cal. 1556. The historical significance of the Ref. 1810 lies in its status as a demonstration of Rolex’s highest artisanal capabilities, with the full-case engraving representing a significant commitment of manual craftsmanship.
