Notes
Among the Rolex watches most coveted by
collectors for some years now we find the
Day-Dates nicknamed “Stella”, by virtue
of the lacquered dials with bright colors such as
yellow or mint green, which have become iconic.
The “Stella” dials, certainly unusual for a very traditional maison, were made in the late 1970s and 1980s. This example features a super fine stella burgundy color dial.
