Lot Essay:

The combination of features that appear on the present specimen is hard to beat. It is distinguished by its magnificent oxblood coloured ‘Lacquered Stella’ dial with diamond indexes, a most elegant variant, and the calendar indications in Arabic scripture, both for day and for date. Another noteworthy feature is the green Khanjar which beautifully harmonize with the oxblood lacquered dial and the white gold case.

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.
