Rolex Day-Date 1803/9 'Stella'

Sold

This piece deserves quite some attention. A stunning Rolex Day-Date ref. 1803/9 executed in 18k white gold, that we were proud to have sourced for a client. Who doesn't love a 'stealth wealth' configuration on his/ her Day-Date. The white gold Oyster case, with fluted bezel is carried by a white gold 'President' bracelet with hidden clasp. As you would have already noticed by now, the star of the show is nothing less than this beautiful Stella dial. Not just any Stella, but a light 'Côte d'Azur' blue dial. The dial is in a flawless condition with zero hairlines or imperfections. Now another addition to the rareness of this piece is that this dial configuration is without two factors that are most often seen on Stella dials. First of all this dial has no diamonds and no lume. The fact this dial has no lume indicates that this piece most likely was configured for a client in a country where the materials, used by Rolex for the luminous components, were not allowed. The contrast between white gold and this blue is something to behold on its own. This beauty dates back to 1976 and we can only applaud the lady or mister that configured this breathtaking example back in the day. The condition of the watch is something we can't forget to mention. The case is still very thick with sharp edges and the bracelet has zero to no stretch.
