ROLEX Vintage Day-Date “Stella” Salmon Coral Enamel Dial Ref. 1803 – Asprey – 18k Yellow Gold President – Circa 1974

An Exceptional and extremely rare Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 featuring a Stella Salmon Coral Enamel Dial, signed Asprey, excellent condition, circa 1974

We are pleased to present this extraordinary Rolex Vintage Day-Date Ref. 1803, crafted in 18k yellow gold and preserved in excellent condition. This highly collectible example is distinguished by its rare Stella salmon coral enamel dial and Asprey signature, making it one of the most desirable configurations of the classic Day-Date.

Produced circa 1974, this reference belongs to the golden era of Rolex Day-Date production, when the brand experimented with bold lacquered “Stella” dials created for select markets and elite clientele. The salmon coral enamel dial, with its rich depth of color and glossy finish, is exceptionally scarce and remains one of the most sought-after variants among serious collectors.

Further enhancing its exclusivity, the case has an Asprey engraving, the renowned London jeweler and long-standing Rolex retailer to royalty and high society. Asprey Stella Day-Dates are extraordinarily rare and represent the pinnacle of vintage Rolex collectability.

The watch is fitted with its iconic 18k yellow gold President bracelet, offering both comfort and unmistakable presence. The classic 36 mm case retains strong proportions, while the fluted bezel, applied gold hour markers, and matching hands create a perfectly balanced and timeless aesthetic.

At its heart beats the Rolex automatic calibre 1556, a robust and reliable movement featuring instantaneous day and date display — a hallmark complication that cemented the Day-Date as “The President’s Watch.”

"Combining exceptional rarity, historical importance, and striking visual appeal, this Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 Stella Salmon Coral Enamel Dial, Asprey-signed stands as a true trophy piece. An outstanding opportunity for the discerning collector seeking a museum-quality vintage Rolex with unmatched character and provenance.“

A very similar watch is shown in "DAY-DATE - The Presidential Rolex, PUCCI/PAPALEO EDITORE, page 326/327", called Candy-Candy there, but without the Asprey case.
