Rolex Day-Date 36 18028

1978 Rolex 18028 Yellow Gold Green Stella Dial Day-Date

Description : In the 1970s, Rolex released fourteen total colors of the lacquered enamel ‘Stella’ dials: azure, cobalt, chocolate, turquoise, oxblood, pink, crimson, lilac, ochre, saffron (the rarest and most expensive), lemon, coral, forest, and emerald-green. Many of these watches went unbought and Rolex quickly discontinued the style. So the story goes, 1990’s Italian sartorial cognoscenti, wishing to increase their sprezzatura (everyday and effortless grace), began seeking these dials and, sensing their true value, bought them ‘a frotte’, generating fervor for what was once unloved Case : 18k yellow gold in excellent, unpolished condition Dial : Rar ‘Emerald-Green’ Stella pigment dial, exhibiting spiderwebbing across the face, Spanish day window at twelve Bracelet : 18k yellow gold President
