The Rolex Day-Date President model is a watch that defines prestige, excellence, and timelessness. With an extensive production run from the late 1950s to the late 1970s, there were many varieties of precious metals and dials made for this model. However, one of its most iconic representations would be the ones with a Stella “lacquered” dial such as the present example. Ornamented with an uncommon tobacco-colored dial, the present example is one of the rarest examples of the Stella available and is preserved in very good and original condition.
