RolexDaytona

Under appreciated next to its all-steel counterpart, the reference 116503 Daytona has a handsome and classical look. The 40mm case is both ergonomic and supremely wearable and strikes a perfect balance between dress and sport.

The hands, indices and Rolex coronet are all made from 18K yellow gold, as is the tachymeter engraved bezel, screw-down pushers and crown. A hint of colour is introduced with the red “DAYTONA” text that curves around the sub-register at 6 o’clock. The two-tone bracelet has polished gold centre links with an Oysterlock clasp and an Easylink extension - providing 5mm of tool-free adjustment. Powering the Daytona is the in-house calibre 4130, which has a 72-hour power reserve, COSC certification, and is internally tested by Rolex to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.

This example, purchased in May 2021, is presented in mint condition with no signs of wear. Also included in the sale are the box, guarantee, booklet, and swing tags. Rolex’s five-year warranty provides cover until 2026.
