Nice observation! Certainly looks like an OP in coral Red!
Dufour has always spoken positively about Rolex, and has demonstrated it with his purchases of the 126710 BLRO and now this.

He also wears a BLRO. Probably has a stack of references to choose from

I have seen him wearing the Coral Red OP, Ceramic Daytona, and Pepsi GMT. He also has a Datograph and his eponymous watch in his rotation. He's one part one of the word's greatest living watchmakers, one part just like the rest of us for Rolexes.

Just another that fell for all that overrated SS Daytona hype.

I think the co-axial modified Rolex was his mentor's, George Daniels.
