Description

Rolex Rolex President Datejust (Reference 68278). A yellow gold diamond set automatic wristwatch with date. 1986-1987

Description As a release in 1945 to commemorate Rolex ’s 40th anniversary. The Datejust surpassed its predecessors by being the first automatic wristwatch with an automatically changing date window at midnight. The Oyster case introduced in 1926 offered a resolution to an unaddressed need, resistance to water. With such groundbreaking features the Datejust quickly became one of the world’s most popular luxury timepieces. This Datejust exudes a warmer aesthetic, highlighted by its red vignette dial adorned with factory-set diamond indexes. Includes Rolex box.

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.
