The present lot is an extremely attractive version of the Rolex Daytona. Its white gold case is paired with a stunning turquoise dial and a blue lizard skin strap, making this an eye-catching wrist icon. 

In the early 2000s, Rolex released a series of four different 'Beach' Daytona models, namely yellow mother of pearl, green chalcedony, pink mother of pearl and the present blue turquoise. A fashion statement and collector's item alike, these models have gained in popularity recently and the turquoise appears to be the most demanded of them all.

Enjoyed by its original owner, the present watch has been retained in attractive condition with original sticker to the back and is offered with its matching lizard skin leather wallet.
