When it comes to watches, details make all the difference. And when we come to the topic of watch collection, details matter all the more. As a matter of fact, small differences can make a huge difference in the collectability of certain watches. 

It’s not often that Rolex, a brand of perfection, makes mistakes, and as a result, the Rolex Daytona APH error dial is a watch that has appreciated greatly in value over the years, and will likely continue to do so. This is also contributed by the fact that more and more people are made aware of this error dial.

In addition, the Rolex Daytona 116519 APH dial was only in production for a few years before Rolex changed the printing, meaning that there are relatively few examples out there, compared to the total number of 116519’s manufactured.

Here you have the chance to own an extremely rare and highly collectible specimen from one of the most coveted Rolex sports models of all time - The Cosmograph Daytona.
