Description

The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18039 Stella Dial is among the most coveted variants in the vintage Day-Date universe. Produced in the 1970s and 1980s, Stella dials were made using thick, hand-applied layers of high-gloss lacquer over colored enamel bases, resulting in vibrant, glossy tones that have become icons of Rolex artistry.
This particular example in 18 ct white gold features the early sapphire-crystal generation of the Day-Date, combined with a Stella dial — an extremely uncommon pairing, as most Stella dials were fitted to yellow-gold or rose-gold references. The rich lacquer finish, depth, and unmistakable shine of the dial make it instantly recognizable as a true Stella, with each piece being unique due to the delicate hand-finished process.
The watch is described as never polished, a major rarity. It retains factory chamfers, sharp lug edges, and crisp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces, while the President bracelet shows full, original profile. Powered by the Caliber 3055 with single quickset date, this 18039 Stella Dial stands as a collector-level masterpiece — an extraordinary blend of color, rarity, and untouched originality seldom found on the market.
