RolexDaytona

The ref. 116503 is part of Rolex’s legendary Daytona model line. Somewhat underappreciated next to its steel counterpart, it has a handsome and classical look. The contrast of yellow gold and steel construction strikes a perfect balance between sportiness and luxury.

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 onto the dial with the “DAYTONA” script etched in red. The two-tone bracelet has polished gold centre links with an Easylink extension built into the clasp - providing 5mm of tool-free adjustment. Housed underneath the screw-down caseback is Rolex’s tried and tested calibre 4130 movement, which delivers a 72-hour power reserve, Chronometer certification, and is tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.

This 2021 example is presented in new, unworn condition, and is within the bounds of the seller’s AAA grading. The sale includes the watch’s box, guarantee card and booklet. Rolex’s five-year warranty provides cover until 2026.
