Description
The Rolex Daytona is the most iconic sports watch ever. It is instantly recognizable, highly coveted, extremely liquid and best of all: extremely comfortable to wear. This Tahitian Mother of Pearl dial has panache and is very elegant. It is no coincidence that the Daytona is so popular, it is a homerun in every regard.

The case is 18k gold and stainless steel with dimensions of 40mm diameter by 12.8mm thick. Solid 18k gold bezel is engraved with the Units per Hour scale from ‘60’ to ‘400’. Crystal is sapphire. Solid 18k gold screw down crown and chronograph pushers all operating perfectly. Water resistant to 100 meters. Bracelet is the famous Oyster.

Tahitian Mother of Pearl dial with applied golden hour markers and golden baton hands. On these fancy dials, there is no luminous; instead, the hour markers and hands are inlaid with black enamel paint. There are 30 minute and 12 hour chronograph totalizer subdials along with a running seconds subdial. “DAYTONA” in red looks great.

Movement is the outstanding Rolex automatic winding Caliber 4130. Rolex designed and built this caliber as the best chronograph movement that could be manufactured. They concentrated on technical excellence (long lubrication life, long service intervals and minimizing friction), timekeeping excellence (C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer) and serviceability (the watchmakers can service and/or repair the caliber easily).

The solid 18k gold and steel Oyster bracelet is a thing of beauty. Clasp is flip-lock deployment.

Watch is like new. USA retail price is $19,600.
