The Daytonas are back! After a bit of a lull, I feel they’ve returned as one of the hottest references in the catalogue for 2026.
To throw my hat in the ring, I’ve got one that’s seriously collectable and would make a killer birth year piece!
1993 “Zenith” Daytona in exceptional condition, Champagne dial with black sub-dials and the rare inverted 6 quirk - where the 6 in the middle sub-dial prints upside down. A cool mistake from Rolex that made them quite desirable.
The Zenith era Daytonas have a cult following for good reason, and this champagne two tone combination is just gorgeous in person! Bracelet is tight, condition is beautiful, dial is clean, and running beautifully.
