Lot Essay

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.

The present Daytona is a well-preserved example of a reference 116519, distinguished by the highly attractive and impeccable sodalite dial, furthermore sold with the original accessories.

As all natural stone dials vary in colour and shade, none is similar in appearance, rendering them unique.

Sodalite
The name sodalite is a compound word from Latin sodium and Greek lithos for stone and refers to its high sodium content. It is distinguished by its royal blue colour and widely used as an ornamental gemstone.
