There is no specific date. Some have suggested Napoleon's army shot the nose off with canon balls, but there are sketches of the Sphinx that pre-date Napoleon by 50 years and they show the already Sphinx missing it's nose.

On the other hand there are chisel marks that indicate someone climbed up there and used a tool to break off the nose.
