RolexDaytona

For auction through a private seller, this 2000 Rolex Daytona is offered with its original display box and outer sleeve, user manual, chronometer certificate, user manual and swing tag. The watch shows some signs of wear commensurate with age with age, and falls within the sellers ‘A’ grading.

From 2000, this third-generation Rolex Daytona boasts serious wrist presence with its purposeful 40mm stainless steel case and ‘Oyster’ bracelet fashioned from the same material. This watch features what is called by some collectors the ‘APH’ white dial; a moniker derived from a small gap in the dial’s black ‘COSMOGR APH’ text. As-per traditional Daytonas, chronograph sub-registers can be found at the three, six, and nine o’clock markers, denoting sub-seconds, hours, and minutes. The iconic motorsport-inspired bezel is also made of stainless steel with its tachymetric numbers finished in black lacquer.

Beneath this watch’s screw down rear case lies Rolex’s self-winding 4130 calibre, which is chronometer-certified and has an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per-day. What’s more, this highly-efficient automatic movement has an impressive power reserve of 72 hours.

The Rolex Daytona was introduced in 1963 when the iconic Swiss watchmaker was named the title sponsor of the equally-iconic Daytona Speedway. Ever since, this legendary watch has become synonymous with the world of motorsport, specifically endurance racing.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
