In the last few years the Rolex 'Stella' lacquered dials have seen a huge increase in popularity. The present example features such a dial in oxblood, furthermore enhanced in rarity by its sapphire-set hour markers and three diamonds in between these. Rare though factory original, it was likely a custom order by a demanding client. This watch was part of a 2013 Christie's auction.
