Rolex Daytona Meteorite



Rolex adds an intergalactic spin to their classic Daytona collection with the Daytona Meteorite. The piece sports iconic Daytona characteristics with a 4 billion year old Meteorite face. Some 12,000 years ago, a Gibeon Meteorite found it's way to the surface of the Earth, landing in rural Namibia. The martian artifact was discovered in 1846 and before becoming protected under Namibian law, Rolex had an opportunity to secure some of the more striking pieces for their collection. Retails for just under 30k with the Meteorite dial retailing for 5k itself. Pricey but about as unique as wrist-wear gets.
