ROLEX. AN 18K WHITE GOLD AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH PINK MOTHER-OF-PEARL DIAL

The present watch is a lovely example of the Daytona reference 116519. Nicknamed the "Daytona Beach", possibly because of its playful looks, this model was available in 4 colours: green, blue, pink and yellow. The dials were made either of 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 colour. An instant classic, the Daytona Beach is one of the most collectible modern versions of the Daytona.
