Consigned by a private collects or and fresh to the market, the existence of an automatic Daytona fitted with a lacquered “Stella” dial is hard to believe. This is now the third platinum reference 16516 to come to market and we believe there is only one other known platinum example, featuring same reference number, but with coral hardstone dial. As with each of these references, each watch has a unique and very different dial. They are all powered by the Zenith movement calibre 4030.

Manufactured by Rolex in 1998, this is the only known platinum Daytona with turquoise blue “Stella” lacquered dial. There are many interesting attributes about this watch that make it highly unusual. First and foremost is the dial. Secondly, the case is crafted from platinum, the world’s most noble metal. The watch is inscribed on the case back and dated 1998. The first known platinum Daytona was sold by Replica Shoes ’s in Hong Kong in 2018 for 6,840,000 HKD and last year, we made history with the lapis lazuli hardstone example where the watch made a staggering 25,375,000 HKD. Replica Shoes ’s is absolutely thrilled to present this highly important automatic platinum Daytona with Zenith movement for the first t.mes to the market.
