Individual sale results behind our data, from eBay and auction houses. Each watch differs in condition and set.

Forum rows are posts on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums and WatchUSeek that the seller marked sold. The amount is the listed price when marked sold, not a confirmed sale price, and forum rows do not feed our price.

“Prices” counts how many of the 394 sold prices from 377 sales behind the headline fall in each condition. 363 prices have no recorded condition and count only toward the headline range. All of these observations are sold prices. Method version fv-2.0.

Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

What affects the price

Case metal. Yellow and white gold examples share the reference number, so a listing should state the metal.

Dial. The 1803 came with many dials, and a rare dial can move the price of one watch a long way. A listing should describe the dial and say whether it is original.

  • Unworn: not enough market data yet.
  • Excellent: $10,000–$18,300.
  • Good: $9,100–$13,000.
  • Fair: not enough market data yet.

Retail reference. We don't show a list price for this reference, because we only publish one we can confirm from a source we can cite.

Recent movement. Change over the past year: +18.2% over 12 months.

Tips for buyers

  • Confirm the reference 1803 between the lugs and check the serial against any papers.
  • Ask whether the dial and bracelet are original to the watch.
  • Compare the asking price with our fair-value range, and with the range for its condition where one is shown.

Tips for sellers

  • State the metal and the dial, and include any papers or service records.
  • Don't polish the gold case before selling.
  • Photograph the dial, bezel and caseback in daylight.
  • Use the published price data on this page as a starting point, and get more than one offer.
