Rolex Daytona Ref. 16528 engraved with “A Angelo da Ayrton 1978”

In the upcoming Nine Geneva Auction to be held May 11th and 12th, by Phillips Geneva, there will be a very special Rolex Daytona, and no it's not Paul Newman Nor is it Paul Newman's Paul Newman Daytona, the greatest watch to ever sell at auction It was given as a gift, from one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time.

Ayrton Senna, whose legacy will be forever immortalized in racing, and is idolized in not just his home country, Brazil, but also around the world, had the message "A Angelo da Ayrton 1978" meaning "To Angelo from Ayrton" engraved on the back of this 18K yellow gold Rolex Daytona Ref The highly regarded documentary film made about him called Senna, is perhaps the best way to visualize a racer doing what he loved, at the absolute highest level, before all the modern technology of today If the rumors at true, that Rolex was the anonymous winner of the PNPN Daytona in 2017, likely to display in their tentatively planned Rolex museum, then there's a good chance they'll bid on this horological piece of racing history as well.

At $100,000 to $200,000 there's too much upside for a company like Rolex to miss this one. . Source
