In 2002, the reference 116519 Daytona was offered in four color variations: yellow, pink, blue and green. This particular example features the green Chrysoprase dial with white gold Roman numerals and baton hour markers. This model was nicknamed the "Beach" perhaps due to the playful color variations. Finding a discontinued Rolex in this condition is getting harder every day and this is a good opportunity to get one.
