The Rolex Daytona is with no doubt one of the most beloved timepieces ever made. In 2000, the firm released their very first Daytona featuring an in-house self-winding chronograph movement cal. 4130. Reference 116509, housed in caliber 4130, was made in white gold and offered in many different dial configurations. This present reference 116509 is fitted with a beautiful royal blue sodalite dial, and also adorned with 8 applied round brilliant cut diamonds at the hour markers. Sodalite is in fact a waxy crystalline mineral with a royal blue and white vein structure. The material previously made appearances in Rolex’s special offerings, but only in the Datejust and Day-Date lines. Sodalite entered the Daytona line in the reference 16519 which utilized a Zenith movement and was only sold on a leather deployant. For a full bracelet, this latter 116509 is the only sodalite Daytona reference.
