Description

One interesting fact about Day Dates is that though they have been produces in large numbers, the numbers of those with special, rare and precious dials is pretty small. One of the most popular dial variants on a Day Date is the lacquer or Stella dial. Stella stands for colorful, they have been made in many colors, a few are red, orange, blue, baby blue, green, yellow, Sea Foam and Salmon. One of the rarer ones is the Sea Foam, also called 'Tiffany ' color reminding of the US Jewelry brand. The current watch on offer is in mint condition bearing a very good case and bracelet and most importantly a beautiful and all original Sea Foam Stella dial with diamond, one of the rarest colors to find. To round it up the watch comes with original punched certificate making this watch a true collector's piece.
