Description

About this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40 Stainless Steel

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona White ‘APH’ Blue Lume Error Dial 40mm Stainless Steel 2018 is for sale as a one-off piece. The Daytona is the hardest Rolex to buy at retail. Waiting lists at authorised dealers run years, which is the entire reason the secondary market prices it where it does.

The case measures 40mm in stainless steel. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist.

A chronograph adds stopwatch timing. Production dates to 2018. The Rolex reference 116520 Cosmograph Daytona White ‘APH’ Blue Lume Chromalight Dial is an extremely rare and highly collectible “error dial,” nicknamed the ‘APH’ dial due to a subtle spacing anomaly in the word “Cosmograph, where a small gap appears between “Cosmogr” and “aph.” This unique dial variation appears only within a narrow serial range, making it highly sought after by collectors. Featuring Rolex’s blue Chromalight lume, the dial combines technical sophistication with a rare production quirk that significantly enhances its desirability. Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.

Condition is stated as Pre-owned. It is accompanied by Rolex box and card.
