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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Gold With A Flash Of Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Immaculate Dial And Excellent Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is in very good overall condition.
