This 2001 Rolex Daytona 40mm features a white dial with baton markers and a stainless steel oyster bracelet. It is also fitted with a stainless steel bezel with engraved tachymetric scale.
This is like buying a cream dial 16550 in the year 2000. The tone is currently biege, but moving in one direction. It’s fairly rare today to see a panna dial Daytona that has gone truly cream at a glance. Most are just a slight off white. But the fact that we’ve seen some hard-worn examples with practically yellow dials means we have things to look forward to. These changes have only been observed in P, K, and Y-series serial numbers, the first two years of production (2000-02). It didn’t take Rolex very long to notice the defect this time around. The change is a reaction to sunlight, so the more hard-worn this dial is the more beautiful it will become.
This chronograph was designed to be the ultimate timing tool for endurance racing drivers. More than 50 years after its creation, the Cosmograph Daytona remains in a class of its own among sport chronographs and continues to transcend time.
This watch has been checked against technical records to guarantee authenticity and clean history.
Comes with original box.
