Catalogue Note
Accompanied by original numbered warranty and Rolex Cosmograph Daytona and Your Rolex Oyster booklets. Together with a fitted preꦕsentation ওbox and outer packaging.
The present lot is particularly unusual in that it appears to have been worn only a very minimal amount. The factory-applied sticker to the outside of the back would normally have been removed before wearing, or would wear o✱ff after only a few days of use. Not only does the present lot retain an excellently preserved original sticker, the original certificate and box are also in almost unused condition.🌼 Clean and complete examples, such as the present, rarely come to the market.
