Stern Frère Four Enamel Dial Wristwatches 斯登˙弗里爾琺瑯錶盤 Founded in 1868 by brothers Charles and Jean Stern, Stern Frère is best known for creating beautiful and intricate dials for watchmakers such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex and Omega. The following watches are all manufactured and stamped by this esteemed dial maker. The first three numbers, 103, denote the watchmaker's reference. In this instance, it would be Rolex. The star represents the maker, Stern Frère, and the following numbers are the job reference. The quality of these hard enamel dials are outstanding. The colors appear bright yet translucent, and have an even and rich tone that many attain to achieve. Every detail is taken into account. The enameller has painted a perfect and small circular ring around the center post where the dial plate meets the enamel, attesting to the meticulous work of Stern Frère. We are honored to offer the following hard enamel Rolex wristwatches, cased in different metals and displaying various shades of royal blue to emerald green.
