For sale is a rare vintage Lady-Datejust Ref. 6927 in 18k yellow gold with a Bark finish bezel & bracelet and an exceptionally rare blue Stella dial with ‘spider’ lacquer.
Bark Finish: The Datejust 6927 features a "Bark" finish on the bezel and bracelet. The "Bark" nickname refers to the unique texture which resembles the bark of a tree. This texture can be seen on the bezel and the centre links of the president bracelet. The pattern is created through a specialized technique that gives the watch a distinctive and tactile aesthetic.
The bark finish is uncommon which makes the watch stand out from the typical smooth and polished Rolex designs. It's an eye-catching feature that adds a layer of individuality to the watch.
Dial: Adding to its unique aesthetic is the exceptionally rare blue Stella dial furnished with gold hour markers and hands.
Rolex Stella dials refer to a series of vibrant, enamel lacquer dials that were available on certain Rolex models during the 1970s and early 1980s. Named after the Latin word for "star," Stella dials are characterized by their bold, glossy colors and high-gloss finish.
Stella dials were produced in limited quantities, they didn't gain immediate widespread popularity, and as a result, they were discontinued in the late 1980s. This rarity has made the blue Stella dial a coveted feature among collectors today. Vintage Rolex models with this dial are prized for their uniqueness and the pop of color they bring to the typically conservative Rolex lineup, making them stand out as an iconic and collectible piece of Rolex history.
The lacquer paint used on Stella dials has a tendency to form fine cracks over the years. The cracks resemble a web-like pattern reminiscent of a spider’s web, hence the name ‘spider dial’.
