ROLEX 116528 DAYTONA CHRONOGRAPH 18K

If you want my professional opinion as a watch lover, Rolex collector and full-time watch dealer: you should buy a gold Rolex Daytona for yourself. As a former asset management business professional, it certainly appears that owning collectables and gold will be good bets going forward as the worlds’ central banks print money like there is no tomorrow. A gold Daytona is not only a fantastic hedge against inflation, it is also a universally desirable watch, very liquid and extremely prestigious. In fact, you can’t own too many!

This modern solid 18k gold Rolex Daytona has the really desirable black dial with gold subdials and cool red seconds hand and minutes/seconds chapter, which people have started calling the “Paul Newman”. Vintage collectors know that the original Paul Newman dial was available on models starting with the 6239 and ending with the 6263/6265. Whatever this dial is called, it’s the nicest looking dial you can get on a modern gold Daytona. Applied golden hour markers and large baton hands, all inlaid with luminous for low light legibility.

Solid 18k gold Oyster case is water resistant to 100 meters and features the classic broad Daytona bezel with engraved Units per Hour scale. Screw down solid gold crown and screw down chronograph pushers all working perfectly. Sapphire crystal. Dimensions are 40mm by 12.2mm thick.
