Notes
Produced in small numbers during the 1970s and early 1980s, the Stella dials remain among the most vibrant and collectible expressions of the Day-Date lineage. The present example does not have serifs on the gold writings. Crafted in bold lacquer tones, each dial possesses a glossy, enamel-like depth that has become iconic among connoisseurs. The present example, featuring a striking red Stella dial enhanced by diamond-set hour markers, stands as one of the most dramatic and desirable executions.
Cased in 18K white gold and fitted with the signature President bracelet, this Ref. 18039 combines the opulence of precious metal with the artistic audacity of the Stella aesthetic. The day and date apertures frame the composition with perfect balance, while the center seconds hand adds a refined sense of motion.
A watch of exceptional rarity and presence, the red-dial Stella Day-Date represents the meeting of color, craftsmanship, and Rolex prestige, a true jewel of the collection world.
