The classic combination of the white gold case and blue sodalite dial is one of the most beautiful variants ever created for the Daytona line. The present example pushes the boundaries of both rarity and attractiveness even further with the addition of the baguette-cut sapphire-set bezel. Only a handful of this highly appealing Daytona model are thought to have been made and very few have appeared in public, rendering the present example a trophy for the aficionado of rare timepieces.
