Rolex ref 1503/5 Rose gold

Recently, I have been consolidating my watches from yellow gold to rose gold. This is a Rolex 1503/5 with Acrylic crystal with cyclops magnifier and fluted bezel instead of the engine turned bezel for ref 1501. The 1503 is made of stainless steel, 14k white, yellow or pink gold or 18k yellow or pink gold.

Normally, my preference is for a Datejust but this Rolex Date reference 1503 also has an original riveted 13 link Oyster bracelet that is in 18k rose gold making it very desirable. It has a 26-jeweled Rolex cal.1560 COSC movement. The 1503 was produced from circa 1960s-70s 












It’s not easy to see the rose gold unless put beside a yellow gold watch 

Below are some examples of rose gold watches ref 1601,1803, 6305 and 1503. As you can see, Rolex has not mastered the art of producing rose gold watches and we can see different shades of rose gold & pink gold below.
