Incoming! WG Daytona 116509
Just thought I’d share my latest pickup. It’s a white gold daytona with the black mother of pearl dial. Not a whole lot of pics/discussion on this piece relative to other daytonas but it’s a great look and pretty underrated imo.

That must look amazing in person. I'm sure pictures don't do it justice.
Huge congrats.

Wow, congratulations. That is a stunning watch that has always intrigued me.

I love how all that text blends in with the dial, it looks like no other Daytona. They did make a prior Daytona with Tahitian MOP but it had gold Roman numerals.
The diamond markers look so much better IMHO.

Yeah that version is nice too, but I agree the diamond markers and contrasting sub dials on this version takes it up a notch imo.

It's 18k white gold that's been made to form a crystal like pattern.

It looks pretty great in person, color changes a lot depending on lighting so it was really tough to photograph.
