SUMMARY

A watch of significant provenance, this 2010s Rolex Daytona is a curious footnote in the history of The Crown's eponymous motorsport-inspired watch. Its standout feature is the sodalite dial, which is both rare and desirable in the world of Daytonas. This ornamental gemstone takes its name from the high sodium content and has a distinctive pitted and speckled matte-blue finish. Adding to the watch’s visual appeal are applique white gold markers and the red “DAYTONA” script that subtly curves around the sub-register at 6 o’clock. The 40mm case and Oyster bracelet are fashioned from solid 18K white gold, offering plenty of heft and complementing the dial’s eye-catching blue hue. This lot represents an opportunity to acquire a rare and collectable Daytona.

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.
