SUMMARY

When it comes to Rolex’s ever-present archetypal sports chrono, it takes a lot to stand out from the crowd. Cue the Daytona “Beach” in pink! Launched in 2000 as part of a four-watch series in bright colours, it makes a statement with a pink mother-of-pearl dial and equally bold lizard strap. Adding a luxurious touch to the bold styling is an 18K white gold case which is embellished with a tachymeter scale on the bezel as a nod to its motorsports heritage.
