Description
Now this is a really interesting watch. Rolex vintage Day Date President with unusual reference number 1806 with rare original Moire case finish and super cool purple dial.
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 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. Rolex is also in the market buying up these vintage Stella dial watches. We are pleased to present this watch with purple Stella inspired dial.
Original solid 18k gold case on this watch is a treat. This is the correct and original finish for a model 1806 case, a fine pattern of criss-crossing lines named Moire. The Moire pattern is on the top of the lugs and on the bezel. Plastic crystal and original gold screw down crown which is operating perfectly. Dimensions are 36mm diameter by 12mm thick. Condition of the case is mint.
Original automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1555 with 26 jewels and adjusted in 5 positions and to temperature. Movement is immaculate and running strong. This is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer.
Watch will be delivered on new purple strap with Rolex buckle.
