This legendary model carries the first Rolex in house automatic Daytona movement, the caliber 4130. The case is forged in 18k yellow gold and has end links integrated into the case specially for wearing wi🍃th a leather strap. The present example has a very charismatic blue dial design, highlighted by a hint of red on the minute track. Reminiscent of dial designs of vintage chronogr꧃aph and pilot models through the use of large Arabic numerals. The choice of three strong dial coulours make the present watch very popular among collectors, especially being predominantly in blue which has proven to be more sought after in recent years.
