Lot Essay

The watch is accompanied by a Rolex International Service Guarantee dated February 11th, 2015.

Very nicely preserved, this Daytona is consistently at the top of collector's lists with its attractive aesthetic. It boasts a bold black bezel insert and cherry red 'Daytona' designation above the central subsidiary dial. It is rare to find this model in such good condition from the 1970s and would be an asset to any collection. The present watch is in remarkably honest condition with a charismatic appearance and some light patina to the dial.
