Launched at Baselworld in 2016, the redesigned Rolex Daytona Ref 116500 introduced a number of notable design and material upgrades on its predecessor. These included both black and white dial options and, most strikingly, a monobloc Cerachrom Tachymeter timing bezel in black, which evoked historic examples of the Daytona such as the ref 6241 and ref 6263 with their contrasting black acrylic bezel. Originally designed as a tool for professional race car drivers, the case is equipped with an extremely precise in house caliber 4130 self-winding movement with a paramagnetic blue parachrom hairspring and a 72-hour power reserve.


Incredibly hard to acquire new, this example with white dial with contrasting black sub dial rings is in excellent unworn condition, with original factory case protection, and is accompanied by its original guarantee card as well as its full suite of accessories.
