Notes
Following the sale in May 2019 of a floating steel Daytona with porcelain dial, retailed by Tiffany (reference 16520) for the World Record Amount of CHF 293’000, we are proud to present yet another extremely rare version in gold, featuring a porcelain dial in the uncommon five lines version on an R case. Sold in 1991, this example is presented with its original warranty in untouched conditions and close to be never worn. According to our research, there is only a small batch of less than 10 pieces with these features.
