The production of the reference 1802 Day-Date started in 1959 and was fitted with a smooth bezel rather than the more commonly found fluted bezel. Preserved in very nice conditions, the waterproof case is equipped with a beautiful yellow-gold bracelet with the classic “president” texture. From the 1950s, there were many varieties of precious metals and dials made for this model, but the most prestigious one is for sure that of the Stella dial. This iconic representation sees a dial made of lacquer with an incredibly shiny color (that’s why called Stella) such is the present specimen of reference 1802. First of all, the importance of the reference itself since it is much rarer compared to its brother with fluted bezel reference 1803, making the model particularly favored among collectors. Secondly, the charm of the dial: it is indeed fitted with a remarkably important Turquoise enamel lacquered “Stella” dial, with applied baton hour indexes, this one is even rarer considering its perfect conditions since Stella variants tended to crack given the fragile nature of the enamel.
