Description

Pink Mother of Pearl       - Mother of Pearl dials didn’t get much attention until lately and lately means in context since the Daytona market has started flying. This very stunning example of a white gold Daytona dates back to 2001 and is an early example of the Rolex movement Daytonas after the Zenith Daytonas were discontinued in 2000. The overall condition of this piece is very pleasing with its fat case in superb proportions and stunning dial, a pink Mother of Pearl dial. The dial looks very pure with its glass-like surface. The color plays in different lightings and varies from snow white to a beautiful pastel pink. The pink MOP dial is not very common and we dare to say it is rare. To finish it off nicely, the watch comes with its original Warranty Certificate from Japan.

DAYTONA BEACH 1960

Daytona Beach, Florida. Long, flat and firm, with hard-packed sand, the beach helped the city of Daytona to forge a legend as the world capital of speed. It boasts 14 world land speed records set between 1904 and 1935, five of them by Rolex-wearer Sir Malcolm Campbell. Over the years, the sand deteriorated. By 1959, a “Super Speedway” was built: the Daytona International Speedway. Follow this link to learn all about the legendary Rolex Daytona references...

THE COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA 1963

Launched in 1963 as a new-generation chronograph, the Cosmograph soon gained the name that became the mark of an icon: Daytona. Designed as the ultimate tool for endurance racing drivers, the Cosmograph Daytona was robust, waterproof and featured a tachymetric scale on the bezel for calculating average speed. Follow this link to learn more about the Evolution of the Oyster Daytona...
Birth of a Horological Icon Timepiece  The myth around the iconic Rolex Daytona has spread around the world recent years. Always has the Daytona model been attached to motor racing, at first Rolex called their new Cosmograph the “Le Mans” and little later to “Daytona” when Rolex started to sponsor the well known U.S. speedway.
Cosmograph: a name that was to be the forerunner of great fortune. Actually, the choice of the name proved to be neither easy nor expected. Whilst Rolex on the one hand flirted with the car-racing world, on the other hand it could not remain unaware of the vast media attention, which at that time was surrounding the conquest of outer space.
