Description
This 2020 Rolex Daytona in 18k yellow gold carries the dial configuration widely nicknamed the John Mayer Daytona among collectors, featuring a rich green dial paired with black contrasting chronograph counters, a combination that has become one of the most sought after modern Daytona variants. The 40mm yellow gold case is fitted with a fixed monobloc Cerachrom bezel in matching gold with a black ceramic insert, engraved with a tachymetric scale for measuring speed over distance. The vivid green lacquer dial provides a striking contrast against the black recessed sub-dials used for timing elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, giving the piece an unmistakable presence on the wrist. Powering the watch is Rolex’s automatic caliber 4130 movement, a column wheel chronograph valued for its vertical clutch engagement and long service intervals, often requiring maintenance only once every ten years under normal wear. A screw down crown and pushers preserve 100 meters of water resistance, while the solid yellow gold Oyster bracelet completes a substantial, luxurious full gold presentation. Since gaining attention through its association with the musician for whom it is nicknamed, this configuration has become one of the most requested modern Daytona dial and case combinations on the pre-owned market. This example has been fully authenticated and serviced, with all chronograph functions tested and confirmed accurate prior to listing, making it an exceptional acquisition for collectors seeking a bold, statement making Daytona.
