Among the most collectible of all Day-Dates are the ones fitted with lacquer "Stella" dials. Translucent yet vibrant, "Stella" dials offer so much exclusivity to the wearer, as no lacquer dial is exactly the same in appearance. Rolex adorned their Day-Date watches with a range of lacquer dials, ranging from yellow to mint green and even a rich burgundy tone, like the present watch.

The present Day-Date, reference 1803, features a rich and incredibly glossy Burgundy "Stella" dial, which contrasts vibrantly against the diamond-set numerals. Despite being over forty years of age, the dial still retains its highly glossy finish, just as if it left the factory yesterday. It is preserved in excellent condition, with no cracks or hairlines at all. All luminous dots are intact and perfectly match the luminous material on the hands.

The case is furthermore preserved in marvelous condition, and still retains three strong hallmarks on the underside of the lug. The proportions are robust, and the top of the lugs feature sharp finishes. This watch is powered by the automatic caliber 1556 movement, which features a hacking mechanism that allows precise time-setting.
