More Information
Specialist note
Of specific interest to collectors of the automatic Cosmograph Daytona, the present example is distinguished by its dial, nicknamed ‘APH’ due to the printing variation of the ‘Cosmograph’ text where the ‘APH’ letters are slightly separated from the preceding letters R and the word is in a slightly different font than found in other examples of this reference. It is believed that these ‘APH’ dials were made between approximately 2011 and 2014. The present timepiece is in new, unworn condition with a guarantee card that shows that it was purchased in 2019. The watch should appeal to collectors looking to add an 'APH' dial to their Daytona collection.
