Nicknamed the ‘Chairman’ or 'The Big Blue', this magnificent Rolex blue dial was manufactured in the Singer laboratories in small numbers. It was perhaps due to poor market feedback that its production was quickly cancelled. Subsequently, these dials were later given to friends, suppliers, senior executives and business partners of Rolex, who would decide the dial’s fate by housing it onto existing Daytona models and giving the watch new life. As these deep-blue dials were technically never retailed to the public, they are one of the most exclusive collectables available on the secondary market. With its elusiveness and limited production numbers, the upcoming Hong Kong Important Watches sale presents a special opportunity to acquire this extremely rare yet iconic timepiece. (Lot 2140, estimated at HK$1.2m – 1.8m/ US$154k – 231k). #SothebysWatches #Rolex #CosmographDaytona #RolexWatch #Rolexaholics #WatchesofInstagram #wristwatch #watches #watchaddict
