Description
This watch is in mint+ condition, which immediately attracts the eye. But when you notice the dial – wow. Original champagne dial has taken on a strong rose color hue. There is no nicer sports watch than a Daytona, and a solid 18k Daytona is a special treat. Put this watch on your wrist and your other watches, not to mention your friends, will be very jealous!

Case is 18k gold with sapphire crystal, screw down crown and chronograph pushers, and bezel with engraved "Units per Hour" scale. Rolex Oyster bracelet has solid 18k gold links, with old style non-flip-lock clasp with the Rolex coronet in factory sharp condition. Case is 40mm by 13mm thick.

Original champagne color with strong rose hue has applied golden hour markers. Chronograph totalizer subdials for 30 minutes and 12 hours. The word "Daytona" is printed in red and arches over the lower subdial.

Movement is the Rolex Caliber 4030 which is actually a Rolex modified Zenith El Primero base caliber. If one ever needed proof that Rolex is a perfectionist, they need look no further than their use and modifications to the El Primero. The Zenith El Primero was, and is, recognized as being the best large series production chronograph caliber made. Rolex used the El Primero in their Daytona watches, but not before doing extensive upgrades and refinements.

Condition is mint+. This is truly a gorgeous watch.
