Ever glamorous, the Day-Date model delights with its myriad of dial, bracelet, bezel and gold-finished designs. This superlative Day-Date is fitted with a beautiful light blue "Stella" dial. Preserved in almost pristine condition, the dial impresses with its beautiful finish. There are no cracks on the dial, and the luminous dots are intact throughout and have acquired a charming vanilla hue. Adding extra appeal is the fact that scratched under the lug one can find the Beyer inventory numbers demonstrating that the watch was retailed by the famed Zurich based retailer, which further explains the German calendar.

Dazzling and shining, it is a truly impressive timepiece and a remarkable representative of the “Stella” family. First introduced to the market in the 1970s, it is very likely these dials wanted to capture the carefree and glitzy vibe of the seventies through shiny lacquered dials (Stella means star in Italian, a nod to the radiance of the dial). 

Presented in 1978, reference 18038 introduced the quick set date function (made possible with the caliber 3055) and sapphire crystal - two upgrades from reference 1803, which was fitted with an acrylic crystal and did not allow the wearer to swiftly change the date by pulling out the crown halfway.

In overall very appealing condition the present Day-Date with light blue dial is glamorous, sophisticated and functional.
