Lot Essay

The present reference 1803 is a very well-preserved and highly attractive representative of the famous model, enhanced by its magnificent intact and vibrant oxblood ‘Lacquered Stella’ dial.

Made in the late 1970s and early 1980s in very small numbers, the colours of lacquer for the dials were mixed by hand and then applied layer after layer until a deep rich gloss coating had built up. Distinguished by an appearance of enamel and referred to by collectors as Stella dials, these timepieces preserved in very well overall condition such as the present example are today much sought after by collectors.
