Description

Rolex Datejust 1603 Tropical “Blood Moon” (Circa 1968) 🌘✨

I’m letting go of one of my most beloved pieces—this extraordinary Rolex Datejust Ref. 1603, affectionately named the “Blood Moon” for its mesmerizing gilt & tropical dial that showcases a beastly, insane patina and pattern unlike anything you’ve seen.

Born around 1968, this watch has been a daily source of inspiration for me. Every time I picked it up, the rich, fiery tones of the tropical dial—reminiscent of a blood moon—made my heart skip a beat. It’s more than just a timepiece; it’s a work of art shaped by time itself.

  • Gilt dial with a jaw-dropping tropical transformation
  • Unique “Blood Moon” patina—intense, organic, and one-of-a-kind
  • Circa 1968, carrying decades of character in every detail

It’s not easy to part with a piece that’s been this special to me, but I hope the next owner feels the same connection. See it with your own eyes, hold it in your hands, and you’ll understand the magic it holds.✨✨
