Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have a solid gold Daytona with a rare dial.

Rolex Daytona
Ref.116528 Serial.P9 (manufactured around 2000)
Cal.4130 78498 Clasp code: DE7
Accessories: Box, warranty card (888 : Hong Kong / stamped October 2001), international service warranty card
SOLD OUT!!

The product we are introducing this time features a champagne matte dial with black eyes, red hands and red windings.
This model is also known as the Paul Newman dial.
This is a dial that is rarely seen in solid yellow gold and combination models.

Ref.116508 is available in black with gold-tone red hands and a red winding model,
It seems that the only model that comes with champagne, black eyes, red hands, and red winding is the service dial.

The chronograph hand of the Ref. 126508 has changed from a red hand to a gold hand.
There is also no champagne x black eye red wrap specification.

Considering that, a Ref. 116528 with this dial is quite rare!

The minute lines on the outer periphery are red and the Daytona logo is red.
The red hands complement the champagne dial, creating a cool look.

This product is from the early period around 2000,
The needle is a thin needle. This thin needle also has a nice character!

Personally, I think that thin hands look cooler with this Paul Newman dial.

The buckle is also a cool old buckle specification!

By the way, this is a comparison of the champagne matte dial of the same 116528.
The one on the left is the service dial, and the one on the right is the original dial we are introducing today.

First of all, the color of the champagne is completely different!
The service dial was a brighter champagne dial.

The original font for the sub-dials also has a more retro feel.

Since I had the chance, I compared them in detail.

First, the letter at 12 o'clock.
The top is the service dial and the bottom is the original dial.
You can see the difference in the font.

Next is the Daytona logo.
Similarly, the top one is the service version and the bottom one is the original version.
There was a slight difference in the location,
There was no significant difference in the letters.

There was a big difference in the minute line on the 6 o'clock side!
The length of the minute lines at the 29th and 31st minutes are different!

The longer one is the original.
This is an easy point to understand!

The original dial is still cooler.
That's what I thought to myself.

The dial condition is also excellent!

The condition is good with some scratches due to use,
The case and bracelet are in good condition and overall are in good condition.

The middle case is thick and very sturdy!

The crisp bracelet will be in top condition with no signs of sagging whatsoever.

Accessories include box, warranty card, serial tag, international service warranty (valid until February 2027),
There are extra pieces available.

You have a great look on your face!!
I can't get enough of this retro look!!

Wrist shot!! So cool!
Despite being a model released after 2000,
It's an intriguing dial that also exudes a vintage atmosphere!

Red-wrapped Champagne Panda Daytona in solid gold, Reference 116528/P9
This champagne matte dial is a rare example of the earliest P series!
With its champagne color, red hands/winding, and thin hands, this is an extremely cool piece!
It's in good overall condition and comes with all the accessories, so I highly recommend it
!
If you are looking for a tasteful solid gold Daytona, please consider this one.
