I’ve seen a couple before. Photos really don’t do it justice. The gem setting and colour gradient is unbeatable!

Have you seen that they sell for over £240k ‘second hand’. Lucky wife

People are not paying the huge premium for the good of their health. They are doing it because unless your AD has already contacted you to say you are being offered one, there is no buying it at retail.

i went down this road...forget it. If you aren't on a super well established ADs list, its not going to happen, so forget retail. Most ADs are NEVER going to see this piece.

Buy a 116528, put a Rainbow Bezel/Dial on it...i just saved you 75k+

I have held one and it is gorgeous. Very difficult to get. Unless you are already expecting one they are gone.

If there's someone on here who really needs a Rainbow Daytona in their collection it is you.

Yes I did when they first came out and it hit the store in Munich. Really is beautiful in person yet not my style.

Am I the only one who doesn’t see the appeal at all??

Really looks like it was an after market mod.

YMMV
