Specialist note

The present watch is a lovely example of Daytona reference 116519. Nicknamed Beach, possibly because of its playful looks, this model was available in 4 colors: green, blue, pink and yellow. The dials were made either in Chrysophrase (the blue and the green versions), or Mother-of-pearl (the yellow and the pink versions), and the watches came with lizard straps matching the dial color. An instant classic, the Daytona Beach is one of the most collectible modern versions of the Daytona.
