This Daytona is a very rare variant. Not only is the watch in terrific unpolished condition, immediately one's eyes are drawn to its highly unusual dial. The dial has aged to what can only be described as monochromatic cookies and cream. Consigned by an important collector, a similar aging to an automatic Daytona has not been seen before and should present itself as highly collectible today.
