Never seen in previous generations, the design was groundbreaking at its launch and yet Rolex took the risk and perfected the design. To this day, the reformed Daytona is one of the most sought-after collections in the market.For Rolex to undergo a big change in both design and new movement, it must be tested numerous times in order to meet their standard in aesthetics and reliability. This was where the test dials came in, a pure white canvas without the interference of indexes and subdials, were used by Rolex for chronometer testing. These extremely rare pieces were not made to sell publicly at that time and it is definitely an opportunity for connoisseurs looking for one-of-a-kind examples of the legendary sport watches of all time.
