Description
Turquoise Stella Rolex really pushed the envelope in the 1970’s & 80’s by introducing hard enamel dials known as Stella dials and named after the company who made the lacquer for these, Stella SA.. These enamel dials came in a riot of colors, tones you wouldn’t expect to see on a Rolex. The Stella colors are oxblood, red, orange, blue, green, turquoise, peach, salmon, pink, yellow, and purple with the latter being the rarest. The rarity of the colors also determine their value. But the rarity (and value) of Stella models lie not only in the color, but also in the material they were made for. White metal cases such as Platinum and White gold had differently configured dials with white coronet and hands. What we have here is a super rare example of a Rolex Day Date 18039 with a very vibrant Turquoise Stella Diamond dial. The combination of the Baby Blue color and white metal is phenomenal and not distrated by diamond settings. With the market being very dry on Stella dial Day Dates this is a great opportunity to obtain an incredibly rare example for your collection.
