Collectible Features |Rolex Datejust 31 68278

Discover all the different variants of this specific reference that can enhance, or limit, this watch's value and collectability.
Stella Dial
The Rolex Stella Dial refers to a series of brightly colored lacquered dials, primarily found on vintage Rolex Day-Date models from the 1970s and early 1980s. These dials are known for their bold, vibrant colors along with a high-gloss enamel finish that gives them a distinctive look. What makes the Stella Dials particularly collectible is their rarity and uniqueness, as they were produced in limited numbers and initially aimed at specific markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. Although not widely popular at the time, the retro appeal and scarcity of these colorful dials have made them highly desirable among modern collectors.
Factory Diamond Dial
A dial set with diamonds, as originally produced by Rolex.
