However, this time Rolex set a record refreshment, many industry insiders said is not unusual. Because in June this year, the United States, "The Wall Street Journal," published a long story, so that silence for more than 30 years, the real PN surfaced.
Although this watch is not a special limited edition Rolex, but can easily buy in the store ordinary style, but can become the new king, the story behind must not be simple.
In 1963, Rolex introduced a new generation of timing watch Daytona for the racers. This timepiece existed at the time : the timing disc had a strong contrast in color; the tachometer moved from the surface to the periphery of the outer ring to provide more space for the surface. Rolex to design practical considerations as a starting point, making the timing easier to read, in the current year, this can be a challenge.
The mid-60s, Rolex Daytona released a different style of disc, known as " exotic dials ." Disk number is a kind of art style fonts, bar has a small box at the end, the other minutes there is a small outer ring and dial the middle of the "Advanced." Another feature of the dial is the third color (red), adding a different charm.
However, when Rolex introduced exotic dials initially, many people did not buy it, and the traditional Daytona was more welcomed by Rolex users than the "funny" multicolor. Sales are not good, the output is not large naturally.
In addition, the then Rolex was not completely vertical manufacturing. Rolex's dial will be made by Singer, not only to provide this dish to Rolex, but also to other companies, which caused the market is very confusing.
