RolexDaytona

When it was released in 2016, the Daytona ref. 116500LN was the watch enthusiasts had been waiting for. After debuting its “Cerachrom” ceramic bezel on several precious metal Daytonas years earlier, Rolex finally introduced it to the stainless steel variant. The watch was released in two colour variations - a white dial with black sub-registers and black with silver sub-registers, as we see here.

Striking the perfect balance between sport and luxury, the 40mm case is both ergonomic and supremely wearable. The new “Cerachrom” bezel gives the watch a more bold and substantial appearance and compliments the polished case. The hands and indices are applied in 18-carat white gold and filled with Rolex’s proprietary “Chromalight” luminescence. The red “DAYTONA” inscription around the sub-dial at 6 o’clock introduces a hint of colour.

The three-link Oyster bracelet, like the case, is made from corrosion-resistant 904L steel. It has polished centre links and an Easylink extension in the clasp, allowing for 5mm of tool-free adjustment. Powering the Daytona is the calibre 4130, which has a 72-hour power reserve, COSC certification, and is internally tested by Rolex to run from +2 to -2 seconds per day.

The watch is presented in excellent condition with some minor signs of wear on the case, bracelet and clasp. Also included in the sale are the box, guarantee, booklet and swing tag.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
