Product Overview
Perhaps one of the most iconic timepieces to have ever hit the market, the Rolex Daytona is widely recognized as one of the most desirable watches there is. Distinguished by its three generations, what we have here is the 3rd generation (6-digit reference) Daytona Cosmograph powered by Rolex's first in-house fully-integrated column-wheel actuated chronograph movement, the cal. 4130. Moving on from the Zenith-supplied El Primero-derived cal. 4030, Rolex stepped up their game in 2000 when they launched the 3rd generation Daytona (still the current generation), with one of the most impressive tool watch chronograph movements ever made. A wonderful expression of Rolex's engineering capabilities and the consistency in their iconic design language, this Ruby Bezel Daytona with Rubellite dial blends the tool watch functionality of the Daytona family with the luxurious construction and design that has seen factory gem-set examples like this exact one balloon in demand as collectors seek to move away from custom-iced watches and add watches to their collection that were designed and constructed by the watchmaker as they intended. Mechanically astute, aesthetically unique.
