⌚⌚⌚ HOTRolex Daytona "Meteorite Dial"
White gold Daytona with genuine meteorite dial. Grail status.
Our take on the Rolex Daytona "Meteorite Dial"
Meteorite dials are cut from iron meteorites and etched to reveal the Widmanstätten pattern — a crystalline structure that only forms over millions of years of extremely slow cooling in space. No two dials are identical, which is what makes this white gold Daytona a genuine grail rather than a colour variant.
