1973 Rolex Lady-Datejust 6904 - Green Stella Dial
A Burst Of Unexpected Color
In the 1970s, Rolex began experimenting with brightly colored, lacquered dials that stood in stark contrast to their traditionally conservative designs. These dials, produced for a short period and in limited numbers, became known as "Stella" dials. They were a bold departure for the brand, offering an expressive and vibrant alternative to the standard silver and champagne faces. A green Stella is one of the most sought-after variations, turning the otherwise classic Lady-Datejust from a staple of quiet luxury into a high-impact statement piece.
The Power Of Texture And Tone
This example pairs the rare green Stella dial with a solid 18K yellow gold case and a Morellis finish bezel. This textured, crosshatch-like pattern was another distinctive feature of the era, adding a layer of visual complexity that complements the deep, glossy lacquer of the dial. The combination of the vibrant green, the warm yellow gold, and the intricate bezel finish creates a configuration that is confident, unconventional, and emblematic of 1970s design at its best.
A Well Preserved And Striking Example
The 18K yellow gold case is in very good condition, as is the Morellis bezel. The green Stella dial is the centerpiece and remains in good shape with one spider crack, not noticable to the overall precense of the watch. The watch's 18K Bracelet is in good overall condition with signs of wear consistent with age, but no sag. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Collector Who Values Rarity
This is not a conventional Lady-Datejust. It's a watch for someone who understands the significance of rare dial variations and appreciates a piece with a strong personality. The combination of solid gold and a green Stella dial is a powerful one, offering a unique blend of Rolex prestige and high-fashion sensibility. It works as a standalone piece of jewelry that also happens to be a highly collectible vintage Rolex.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
