Daytona with red hands

I have seen many Black faced Daytona pics posted. No one seems to have one like on the mast head. That is red hands on all the chrono dials as well as the main one. Does this model really exist? The picture is gorgeous.

It certainly exists, model 116509 black dial, white gold.

A couple of members own one and they are very nice indeed.
