Meteoric success: while it is no secret that stainless steel Rolex pieces command unprecedented demand in today’s market, precious metal examples also garner tremendous interest from an increasingly knowledgeable collecting community. They appreciate the scarcity of meteorite as a material, the technical tour-de-force to machine it into a slim dial and the opportunity to wear a Rolex that is simply different. After all, it all makes sense for an outer-space watch to shoot for the stars. Initially acquired for the sheer power of its looks by its first owner in 2014, this Rolex Daytona in white gold with a rare meteorite dial (ref. 116519) substantiated the trend during our recent sale, Watches Online: its final sale price of CHF 25,000 was more than twice its low estimate! #throwbackthursday #sothebyswatches #sothebysonline rolex #rolex #rolexdaytona #meteoritedial #116519 #wristwatch #watchesofinstagram
