Specialist note

With punched Rolex Guarantee and Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel dated April 1990 and stamped by an Italian retailer and green card holder.

The present Rolex with its playful turquoise lacquered "stella" dial adorned with ten diamonds is without doubt a most appealing Day-Date watch. Lacquered dials of vibrant colours, such as this one, are known among collectors as "stella dial". In excellent overall condition and still with its original guarantee, this platinum watch is an attractive and collectible 1990s example of a timepiece with this much-sought after dial.
