Description
The Rolex Day Date model 1803 is ubiquitous. It is the vintage Day Date. For every 1,500 1803s that exist, there is one 1802. This model number denotes the domed smooth bezel versus the 1803’s fluted bezel. Many 1802 owners switched out the bezel on their watch for the fluted bezel, making 1802s as they were originally outfitted with the smooth bezel even more rare.
Now add this 1802’s original brown Stella dial to the equation and you have a truly extraordinary watch. In fact, the color of this brown Stella dial imparts a rosy look to the gold and this watch looks to be between yellow and rose gold.
Produced only in 18k gold and in platinum, the Day Date over the years has had some very interesting dials. Our favorite dial is the so called Stella dial, which is hard enamel, and usually a vivid color. Stella dials are extremely rare, and are particularly sought after and collected by watch dealers. No two dials are the same as the enamel paint is mixed by hand for each dial. Rolex made Stella dials for the Middle East market. Ironically, the Rolex dealers could not sell the watches with Stella dials and would actually replace the enamel dials with mundane dials. In fact, the majority of Stella dials were destroyed years ago by Rolex as being commercially unviable. Italian collectors, known for their keen eye for style, are nuts about Stella dials. We are pleased to present this watch with original and subtle brown enamel Stella dial.
Original 18k gold case features sapphire crystal, solid gold smooth bezel, original 18k screw down crown operating perfectly and massive 18k screw back. Case is in mint, full metal condition with 36mm diameter and 12.4mm thick.
Original untouched brown Stella dial with applied golden baton hour markers and baton hands. Full day on display at 12 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock.
Original automatic winding Rolex Caliber 3055 with 27 jewels and adjusted in 5 positions and to temperature. Movement is in perfect condition and is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer.
Watch is on new leather strap with Rolex buckle.
