1978 Rolex Day Date Tangerine Stella Dial Ref. 1803
Tangerine Stella - The introduction of Stella dials, when they were launched in the very late 1960s, was a bold move from Rolex and from what we know, not very well accepted among clients. Sales declined for these and the Tutti Frutti colored dials were replaced by conventional dials due to a more conservative audience in those days. The color range can be described as funky and we know why people love them today. They are different. Assuming that a lot of these Stella dials had been destroyed, removed, returned to the factory, the number of Stella dials is not high, in fact it is frightening low. We notice that when we are looking for one. This super cool 'Tangerine' Stella Day Date is the perfect Summer watch. the vibrant color, not only because its paired with an orange Stingray strap, is very prominent and the surface is super glossy. Its just a super cool watch and will surely an eye catcher.
