Comment: Rare example of the S series of the famous Rolex Daytona equipped with the automatic caliber. Its main characteristic is the pronounced discoloration of the counters, which gives it the name "Strong Patrizzi", a true and unique distinguishing mark for this piece, which is a characteristic of the trend towards what are also called "tropical" dials, which have a pronounced discoloration towards dark brown, as our example shows.
