Rolex Yacht Master Cosmograph prototype - a quirky Daytona

Evening guys, thought people may appreciate a little post on the Rolex Yacht Master Cosmograph prototype. An interesting quirk in the history and development of the Rolex Daytona. Rolex Passion Report and Jake's Rolex World mentioned this watch a few years ago, and I was fortunate enough to come across it in person recently. It's an absolute stunner!



If anyone wants to learn a little more about how and why this prototype came about, I've written a short article about the prototype here.

Enjoy guys!
Daniel
