  • Golf Legend Jack Nicklaus to Auction His Iconic Rolex Day‐Date for Children’S Hospitals
    PRESS RELEASE Golf Legend Jack Nicklaus to Auction His Iconic Rolex Day‐Date for Children’s Hospitals Rolex that Accompanied Him for Over 50 Years to be Offered in Phillips’ New York Watch Auction on 10 December 2019 All Sale Proceeds to Benefit the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation Jack Nicklaus’ Yellow Gold Day-Date Ref. 1803 Jack Nicklaus at the 1978 British Open Courtesy of the Nicklaus Companies NEW YORK – 28 MAY 2019 – Phillips is honored to present the cherished wristwatch of the greatest champion in the history of professional golf, Jack Nicklaus – also known as the Golden Bear. This Rolex Day‐Date Reference 1803 in yellow gold has graced the wrist of Mr. Nicklaus nearly every day since he received it as a gift from Rolex in 1967 and was present when he won 12 of his record 18 professional major championship titles — often photographed when Jack Nicklaus hoisted the championship trophy following his victories. The Day‐Date is Rolex’s most prestigious model and one of the world’s most famous watches. Originally launched in 1956, the Day‐Date, with its famous “President” bracelet, was the first wristwatch to feature a date and fully spelled‐out day of the week indication on its dial. The sporty elegance of the Day‐ Date is appealing to a variety of consumers around the world, due to its versatility, robustness, and elegance, enduring for over six decades as one of the most popular and sought after Rolex models. In 18-karat yellow gold and fitted with a stunning and extremely rare champagne‐ colored “pie‐pan”‐style dial, with tapered and faceted baton hour- markers —reminiscent of golf tees — Phillips is especially proud to announce that all of the sale proceeds will directly benefit the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation when it is auctioned on 10 December 2019.
