Combining the unmistakable Daytona silhouette with the warmth of Rolesor construction, this model remains one of the most charismatic two-tone chronographs Rolex has ever produced. This 1991 example, presented in very good condition and supplied with its original box, features the crisp white dial with 18ct yellow gold luminous baton hour markers, delivering a clean and classic Daytona aesthetic. The standout feature is the much-discussed “inverted 6” detail within the chronograph sub-dial — a subtle variation that has become especially appreciated by collectors of early Zenith-powered Daytonas. The 40mm Rolesor case blends stainless steel with 18ct yellow gold, creating a sporty yet luxurious presence on the wrist. The watch is fitted with an 18ct yellow gold screw-down crown and protected by a sapphire crystal, while the Rolesor Oyster bracelet completes the watch with the durability and comfort expected of a Daytona. At its heart is the renowned Rolex Calibre 4030, based on the legendary Zenith El Primero and extensively reworked by Rolex to meet its own standards for reliability and performance. As one of the most important movements in Daytona history, the 4030 is central to the appeal of this generation. This is a reference that speaks directly to collectors who appreciate the details — a Zenith-era Daytona with a sought-after dial variation, strong visual presence, and lasting significance within the Daytona story.
