Notes
Only very few examples of U.A.E. LOGO Daytonas have surfaced on the market, all supplied from Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the one and only Rolex official retailer for Dubai. The present watch is a rare example of new old stock with all the stickers applied, white gold, collectible timepiece, featuring an extremely rare porcelain dial. After a deep research we can spot only few example of porcelain dial on 1165XX watches. The porcelain dial became famous on the 165XX reference as the mile stone of collectible “daytona zenith”, very few examples of porcelain 1165XX and 116500LN watches show this feature.
