Tag: Steel Cases Replica Rolex Daytona

Let’s kick things off with a classic. The Daytona ref. 16520 “Patrizzi Dial” is well known among 1:1 fake Rolex collectors. This reference was the first automatic Daytona series, which was in production from 1988 to 2000. As most of you will know, the ref. 16520 was powered by a modified Zenith El Primero movement known as the Rolex caliber 4030. The watch was available with either a white or a black dial, and perfect replica Rolex collectors have distinguished five dial variants from this reference’s 12-year production run. The “Patrizzi” dials in black and white were of the Mk. IV variety and feature discolored sub-dial rings. These dials were produced in 1994 and 1995.

We prefer the black variants of the Patrizzi dials. The white of the sub-dial rings on these dials has changed to a beautiful cream or beige color, giving the watch a chic presence. The story goes that when Antiquorum founder Osvaldo Patrizzi offered his luxury replica Rolex collection up for auction in 2006, it included one of the ref. 16520s that featured discolored sub-dial rings. As he was the one who discovered the discoloration, the dials were named after him.

The discoloration did not stabilize
So, what was the reason for the discoloration? When these specific dials were produced, AAA quality replica Rolex UK used an organic varnish called Zapon to protect them. Rolex super clone for sale was unaware during the production that the lacquer did not provide enough coverage. Over time, the white outer tracks oxidized and changed to a cream color after exposure to UV light. The remarkable thing is that the discoloration did not stop over time. Thus, the older the best quality replica watches get, the more the color will change.

This means that every single dial is unique, and that is what high quality fake Rolex collectors love to pay extra money for. You can expect asking prices between roughly €30K and €45K. But that money will get you one of the most attractive modern Swiss made fake Rolex Daytona watches that top super clone Rolex never intended to create. The discoloration adds a certain charm to the Daytona that makes it look super nice. It’s one of the best modern Daytonas out there if you ask us.

Both lots have been consigned to Sotheby’s by Joanne Woodward personally but, of the two, only this ref. 116519 was gifted by Joanne to Paul. In fact, this particular 1:1 replica Rolex Daytona not only is the last Daytona she gifted to Newman, but also the only Daytona in a precious metal. Of all Paul Newman’s personal Rolex Daytona fake watches online, this is the most modern with a production date of 2006. Before his death in 2008, Newman can notably be seen photographed wearing the watch while watching his Newman-Hass team race at the Indy 500 and during his famous Barbara Walters interview in 2007, as well as in 2008 taking his final laps at a private event at Lime Rock Park on August 13, 2008 just over a month before his death. This is truly the last perfect replica Rolex Daytona the legendary actor ever wore.

His wife Joanne’s inscriptions on the casebacks of the cheap fake Rolex Daytonas she gifted him are known for their recurring theme of wanting him to be safe while driving and racing. The first of the Daytonas gifted to her husband was inscribed with the message “Drive Carefully, Me”, the next “Drive Slowly, Joanne”, and this last and final aaa quality replica Rolex Daytona “Drive Very Slowly, Joanne”. Ultimately each watch conveys her enduring love for her husband throughout their 50 years together. Like the previous “Zenith” Daytona, the condition of the watch can be described as worn but loved with minor markings that add character rather than detract from the integrity of the timepiece. As it was put by Vice President, Head of Important Watch Sales and Specialist Leigh Safar: “These very special Swiss movement fake Rolex Daytonas worn by Paul Newman embody the everlasting love he shared with his wife, Joanne, as well as his love for racing. It represents a part of his legacy marrying the worlds of Hollywood and motorsport – and injects a bit of that romance to the world of high quality copy watches.”
