"P" Daytona serial number

I find it strange that Rolex gave both the Zenith and in-house movement Daytonas the same "P" serial number sequence.

Does anyone know the last Zenith serial number. I accidentally bought one when my AD called in about 2000.

Maybe I have the "holy grail" last one!!!

Serial numbers are not very important to Rolex like they are to some collectors. This does not surprise me at all.

Serial numbers are just that... unique numbers.. They are not based on model, movement, or any other options.............

I wouldn't say impossible............ but access to the records that Rolex keeps about each watch produced, and when it was produced, would be crucial to finding the true answer..

And Rolex does not release those records......... Not even to esteemed and world known researchers..........

I know no one will probably be able to answer this but why? Seems a bit absurd to have such secrecy around that kind of information.

They could EASILY weed out fakes by having this information public.
