Daytina is a new one on me ;)

I think it's on one of the stickers. Might easily display stock number / model when scanned ?.

Not just the Daytona, all new Rolexes have the same.

If I remember from a past post, it is the production bar code. They put it on at the start and each part of the watch is linked back to it as it moves through the build line. It is then used to track to the serial number. Some other experts will chime in, but pretty sure it is for production.

If it's a production barcode, how does it manage to stay on the watch for the year it takes to make a Rolex... (j/k)

It is the factory 2D QR code for logging / tracking.
Not really for the ADs or us mere mortals to use.

It's just something collectors will pay a premium for in fifty years.

They update each dot/dash with black ink along the way
