Details
The Boldness Of A Stella Dial
Rolex produced "Stella" dials in the 1970s and 80s, an adventurous departure from their typically conservative palette. These dials, created with layers of vibrant lacquer, were made in very small numbers and often struggled to find an audience at the time, which only adds to their rarity today. This example, with its deep "Oxblood" red dial, transforms the classic Lady Datejust from a staple of refined elegance into a piece of genuine horological art. A solid gold case paired with a rare Stella dial is a powerful combination.
Solid Gold With A Flash Of Color
This is not just a watch, but a substantial piece of jewelry. The solid 18k yellow gold construction, from the case to the iconic President bracelet, gives the watch a significant and luxurious weight on the wrist. While the proportions are classic and discreet, the deep red of the dial provides a confident and unexpected focal point. It represents a period where Rolex allowed its most traditional models to be canvases for bold experimentation.
An Immaculate Dial And Excellent Case
This watch is in very good overall condition. The solid gold case is excellent, retaining strong and well-defined lines. Critically, the red Stella dial is immaculate, free from the imperfections that can affect these lacquered surfaces over time. The crystal is excellent, and the 18k gold President bracelet is in very good condition for its age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Statement Of Quiet Confidence
This piece is for the person who appreciates the heritage of a classic Rolex but desires an execution with true rarity and character. A standard gold Lady Datejust is a timeless choice, but one with a flawless Stella dial enters the realm of collectibility. It wears beautifully today, offering a flash of sophisticated color that sets it apart from anything else in the room. This is a watch that makes a statement without ever raising its voice.
