One interesting fact about Day Dates is that though they have been produced in large numbers, the numbers of those with special, rare and precious dials is pretty small. One of the most popular dial variants on a Day Date is the lacquer or Stella dial. Stella stands for colorful, they have been made in many colors, a few are red, orange, blue, baby blue, green, yellow, Sea Foam and Salmon. One of the rarer ones is the Sea Foam, also called 'Tiffany ' color reminding of the US Jewelry brand. The current watch on offer is in mint condition bearing a very good case and bracelet and most importantly a beautiful and all original Sea Foam Stella dial with diamond, one of the rarest colors to find. To round it up the watch comes with original punched certificate making this watch a true collector's piece.

Brief History
Rolex Day-Date
Arguably one of the most iconic watches ever made, the Day-Date aka the Rolex President was introduced in 1956 and was the first to feature both the day and date in dedicated windows on the dial.
The Day-Date is the top model in the Rolex line-up and comes in an array of configurations with rare and special dials and case decorations. It has only ever been made in precious metals with Automatic movements and historically with an elegant diameter of 36mm - the perfect size for an iconic dress watch.
