RolexDaytona

This 2021 Rolex Daytona is to be auctioned via a London-based private seller, and comes as a full set. The watch is accompanied by its original display box, outer box and sleeve and a full set of documents including the official Rolex warranty offering protection until 2026. Further accompaniments to the ensemble include swing tags and the reference’s original retail sticker. There are very few marks or swirls on the watch, however there are noticeable scratches on one of the bracelet’s endlinks. Nonetheless, the watch is in good working order, and given the images and information that the seller has provided, the reference fits within the bounds of their ‘A’ grading.

Finished entirely in 18K yellow gold, the watch measures a purposeful 40mm in diameter and - as a result - carries significant wrist presence. This luxurious interpretation of Rolex’s iconic motorsport reference is also a source of visual intrigue thanks to the contrasting black dial, with three yellow gold sub-registers at the three, six, and nine o’clock positions. Meanwhile, the red-finished outer track and seconds hand significantly contribute to emphasising the Daytona’s racing heritage. The watch is fitted with an 18K yellow gold interpretation of Rolex’s classic ‘Oyster’ bracelet, which is earmarked by its flat three link design and polished centre links. 

Beneath the screw-down casing beats the in-house developed Rolex 4130 calibre which has been powering the Daytona since the launch of the third-generation reference in 2000. With a power reserve of up-to 72 hours, this automatic movement is chronometer-certified and beats to an accuracy of +2/-2 seconds per-day after casing.

Synonymous with world class motorsport, the Daytona has been a staple of the Rolex family for almost six decades. Its timeless design and rich history have made it a firm-favourite amongst enthusiasts of the brand and racing drivers alike.
