The stealth Daytona: white gold that passes for steel until the heft gives it away. Blue and meteorite dials carry the premiums.
Discontinued with the 4130 generation in 2023.
The white gold Daytona in steel's clothing: same dimensions, same look at ten feet, double the weight and triple the retail. The meteorite-dial versions, actual slices of the Gibeon meteorite, are the standout spec.
Discontinued with the 116-series in 2023, it now plays the 'last generation, precious metal, discounted' card. Watch the meteorite dials: they've started separating from the pack.
Our verdict: Quiet-money Daytona. Dial choice decides whether it is a C or an A.
