These dials were produced in very small numbers by an outside supplier, Stella, and have since become some of the most sought-after variants in vintage collecting. The oxblood color is one of the most desirable and recognizable hues, offering a deep, rich gloss that has the presence of enamel. Finding any Stella dial is difficult, but securing one in this condition transforms a classic Day-Date into a trophy piece.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Text And Perfect Lacquer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is distinguished by its specific dial configuration, which features gold text instead of the more common black printing. This small detail adds another layer of visual warmth and rarity, perfectly complementing the solid 18K yellow gold case and President bracelet. The deep red of the oxblood lacquer provides a powerful backdrop that makes the entire watch feel more intentional and cohesive. It’s a configuration that rewards a closer look, revealing a level of detail that elevates it far beyond a standard Day-Date.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Well Preserved And Rare Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe 18K yellow gold case has been lightly polished but retains a strong profile and presence on the wrist. Critically, the oxblood Stella dial is in excellent condition, having avoided the cracks and fractures that commonly affect these fragile lacquer dials. The surface is clean, and the color is vibrant and consistent. The iconic President bracelet shows some age-appropriate stretch but remains solid and wearable. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor The Collector Who Wants The Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is not just another gold Day-Date. It is a statement piece for the serious collector who understands the significance of rare and fragile dials. The combination of the solid gold case, the iconic President bracelet, and the deep oxblood lacquer creates a watch with unmatched visual weight. It represents the pinnacle of 1970s Rolex design, a time when the brand was confident enough to pair its most prestigious model with a dial that was anything but conservative.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1803\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Day-Date\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1977\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold Fluted\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold President\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Stella\" Oxblood Lacquer\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1339\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310982316323,"sku":"11339","price":55500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF8573.jpg?v=1783446727","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1977-rolex-day-date-1803-18k-yellow-gold-oxblood-stella-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
