“Stella” dial Day-Dates are regarded by many collectors as some of the rarest and most sought after versions of Rolexs Day-Date model. Translucent yet vibrant, “Stella" dials offer so much exclusivity to the wearer, as no lacquer dials are exactly the same in appearance. Rolex offered “Stella” Day-Dates with a range of dial colors, from yellow to mint green.

The present Day-Date, an uncommon reference 1802 fitted with a coveted smooth bezel, features a rich and glossy burgundy (also referred to as "oxblood") "Stella" dial, which contrasts vibrantly against the slightly patinated yellow gold case. Despite being over fifty years of age, the dial still retains its highly glossy finish, just as if it left the factory yesterday. The dial is preserved in outstanding condition, with all luminous dots still intact. The case is similarly well-preserved, and still retains strong hallmarks on the underside of the lug.

While “Stella” dials are no longer available in modern Day-Dates, this rare vintage 1802 is an exciting opportunity to own a stunning example of one of Rolex’s most prestigious models.
