勞力士,「Day-Date」1803型號,白金自動上弦腕錶,配藍色漆繪面盤與日期及星期顯示,年份約1970。
Of all Day-Date models, one of the most desirable and distinguished variant is without a doubt, the Day-Date with lacquered "Stella" dial. This type of dials was in production from late 1970s and early 1980s in very small numbers. Lacquer on the dials were mixed by hand and then applied layer after layer until a deep glossy colour was built up. Among the already exclusive pieces, a even smaller amount of which feature day-of-week discs in Italian as the present example. With a rich blue colour, the dial is further adorned with diamond-set indexes. Additionally, the dial has some so-called "spidering" lines resulting from age. Not only do these spider webs prove an authenticity of its vintage timeline, but they also represent a sense of uniqueness.
