The Rolex Day-Date is a watch that defines prestige, excellence, and timelessness. From the 1950s, there were many varieties of precious metals and dials made for this model but the most prestigious one is for sure that of the Stella dial. This iconic representation sees a dial made of lacquer with an incredibly shiny color (that’s why called Stella) such is the present specimen of reference 1803. First of all, the three-body case that has been realized in the most refined 18k white gold, with fluted bezel and very nice edges. It fits a remarkably important burgundy oxblood enamel lacquered “Stella” dial, this one is even rarer considering the fact the indexes are with white gold applied baton instead of the more common diamonds. The present example is one of the rarest examples of the Stella available and is preserved in very good and original condition.
