Description

1804 Stella       - Stella dials have always taken my breath away given their funky and vibrant colors. But not always the dial only is special, sometimes the reference and foremost the color of the metal make it more unique. We are offering here a stunning example of a white gold 1804 Day Date with a perfect Turquoise Stella Diamond dial. This watch is stunning, a masterpiece we would say. The Baby Blue color is vibrant and reminds us of the deep blue sea. The glossy surface is mint, free of any sort of damage from age or tool marks. The diamonds are set directly on the dial letting them spread their fire from all sides. All lume dots are fully present and have taken a beautiful subtle but noticeable patine matching the hands. The case is fat with healthy proportions and clear numbers between the lugs. These 1804s with Stella dials just don't come up much and we are thrilled to offer this magnificent example for sale.

THE DAY-DATE 1956

In 1956, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date made its debut. Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. With the President bracelet, originally created specially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people.

LEADERSHIP

Rolex watches have long been associated with those who have, over time, guided the destiny of the world. No matter their vision, their domain of excellence, or their achievements, the one thing these exceptional men and women have in common is often their watch: the Day-Date.
