Specialist note

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

With a dial made of grossular garnet rubellite, the chronograph showcases Rolex’s imaginative use of precious materials. Providing the wristwatch with a singular look, it is amongst the most coveted natural hardstone dials to be found on a modern Rolex Daytona. Aside from its rarity, each rubellite dial will vary in appearance and provide varying shades or colors. Set with 8 diamond hour indexes, the dial of the wristwatch is allied to a white gold case and features the in-house Rolex movement caliber 4130.

Another example of the reference with grossular garnet rubellite dial is illustrated in the book “Daytona Perpetual”, published by Pucci Papaleo Editore P. 220 to 221.
