Very Rare and Valuable, Day-Date, Automatic Wristwatch in Yellow Gold, With Chocolate Lacquered “Stella” Dial, Reference 1802

Model: Day-Date Reference: 1802 Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1970 Movement: Automatic Caliber: 1556 Case N°: 2350125 Dimensions: 36 mm Signed: Dial, movement and case The Rolex Day-Date is a watch that defines prestige, excellence, and timelessness. 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 reed-bezel sibling reference 1803, making the model particularly favored among collectors. Secondly, the charm of the dial: it is indeed fitted with a remarkably important chocolate 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. Among the various Stella colors known, despite the present chocolate, one can count red, yellow, pink, turquoise, various tonalities of green, all of them extremely important.
