Rolex has always been a foremost interpreter of the fashion of the times. In the 1960s, they released the 'Stella' collection, comprising mesmerizing lacquered dials in bright colors, the perfect embodiment of the carefree spirit which will define the late 1960s and the 1970s. Originally looked at with a level of wariness by the market, soon their appeal and collectability was understood without a doubt and the Stella are now among the most appreciated and collectible Rolex dial variations.
