1988 Rolex Daytona 16523 Two-Tone Porcelain Floating Cosmograph Dial

Sold

“Floating Porcelain”


Case: The thick and even case has light wear from use but appears unpolished. The 18k yellow gold bezel is also in excellent condition showing only light wear from use.

Dial: The Mark 1 white porcelain drop-down Cosmograph dial is excellent showing no visible wear. The lume has aged to a warm creamy hue and the hands match perfectly.

Bracelet: The 12 link two-tone Oyster bracelet is excellent showing only light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a matching 1988 date code.

Accessories: None.

Notes: The dial is not actually porcelain, but the thick glossy clear coat over the creamy white lacquer gives the dial a deep almost 3D appearance that is lost on the later dial variations.
