Some context from Maxim:

Quote:
Artisans de Genève, the Geneva-based master craftsmen who came out with the world’s first skeleton dial Rolex Daytona last year, have collaborated with another world-famous racing driver on their latest creation, which is bound to become one of the most coveted custom Rolexes ever.

Maxim.com can exclusively reveal that the limited edition La Barrichello, as the wickedly cool watch is called, will cost $58,000 apiece and was designed in tandem with Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian racing driver who competed in Formula One between 1993 and 2011, scoring 11 Grand Prix wins and 68 podium finishes.

Cool they partnered with RB. That makes the smaller dials so hard to read....not that anyone really uses them anyway. ;)

It looks good, but I'd keep any Daytona I'd be lucky enough to get as is.

A very cool piece, what he says about being able to see the movement resonates with his past watch projects. I love my AP Barrichello. Good to see him back.

Not a Daytona fan, but it is kind of cool.

Not a fan of a skeletonised watch face due to the fact that it makes it hard(er) to read the time, (the primary purpose of a watch). i am not a fan of this iteration of the Daytona. Also not really a fan of the ceramic Daytona, prefer the gold or steel bezel.
