Lapis Blue dial long time ago

New to the forum..
I have a daytona rolex with a white dial face. Many years ago (20 at least)
I fall in love with the watch when I saw a lapis blue dial with red numbers on the the seconds,minutes,hours. I have never seen the watch again. I have heard that it was made just for the ad? Has anyone ever seen this watch?
Thanks

Rolex only offers that dial with precious metal watches. You can though source one aftermarket and have it installed but Rolex USA won't service it if that matters to you

That is very close to what I remembered , except the second-minute-hour dial and numbers were outlined in red. Thanks
