Ranking among the most iconic chronographs, the Daytona family has adopted different styles and variations since launching in the 1960s. The present example, produced circa 2012 stands as an example of Rolex’s more experimental approach to material and design of the classic Daytona, featuring a 18kt pink gold case and bracelet in contrasting finishes and a black dial with subsidiary dials in pink gold.
