Ever glamorous and luxurious, the Day-Date model delights with its myriad of dial, bracelet, bezel and gold-finished designs. The firm has elevated its Day-Date models with materials such as rubellite, blood stone, coral, and even colored lacquer, providing an unusual design twist to the iconic model.

Of all Day-Dates, one of the most exclusive, desirable and distinguished variant is without a doubt, the Day-Date with yellow "Stella" dial. So rare is this model that the market has only seen a handful of examples over the years. When one does show up at auction, it is an incredibly noteworthy occasion.

The present watch is fitted with an arresting and eye-catching taxi-cab yellow "Stella" dial that offers so much diversity and beauty. Made in the late 1970s, it is slightly different from its predecessor, reference 1803, as the dial displays a railway track with roman numerals on the outer edge. The dial is beautiful and translucent in a way that only "Stella" dials can be, with a precise coating of the lacquer around the day and date apertures.

The case is also preserved in excellent and unspoiled condition, displaying sharp hallmarks beneath the lugs and sharp finishes on the top of the lugs.
