Note du spécialiste

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.

Offered by a private collector, the present wristwatch is part of the desirable and coveted examples of the Daytona chronograph with blue sodalite dial.

The manufacturing of a hard-stone dial is a complex and lengthy procedure involving cutting a perfectly intact stone into thin slices and then eventually fit them on the dial’s brass base. This technique often leads to damaging the stone and results in only a small number being actually used, with the vast majority of dials being discarded during the manufacturing process. Well preserved examples are therefore highly praised by collectors looking to complement their collection with exclusive examples of the iconic Daytona chronograph.

Another example of the reference with Sodalite dial is illustrated in Daytona Perpetual, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 202 & 203.
