When it comes to Stella dials on Day-Dates, collectors often aim for the funkiest colors: yellow, turquoise, coral or green. The values for these vary a lot and are mainly driven by the colors itself, followed by the metal they are cased in. Stella dials have been cased in yellow or white gold with no catalogue mentioning rose gold. The silver print on the dial blends beautifully with the white metal and gives it an extremely attractive look. Perfectly preserved this 1803 is even rarer considering the fact the indexes are with white gold applied baton instead of the more common diamonds. Indeed, this specific lot is one of the very low pieces with this configuration on a white-gold case to ever appear at auction with a full white-gold president bracelet. Considering the very low chances of finding a Stella dial encased in white metal, hence we are thrilled to offer this exceptional piece in great condition.
