RolexDaytona

This one-owner Rolex Daytona ref. 116500LN was originally purchased by the vendor from an authorized dealer in 2020. Auctioned as full set, it includes the outer and display box, booklet, swing tags, warranty and bezel protector. Presented with some factory stickers still in place, unsized and unworn, it is in line with the seller’s ‘AAA’ grading.

The ceramic bezel on this latest reference gives the watch a more bold and substantial appearance and complements the glossy dial of the black-faced variant, as we see here. Its 40mm case and slick profile offer the watch unparallel versatility, suitable for casual and formal wear alike. Attached to the case is a three-link Oyster bracelet with polished centre links. The clasp features an Easylink extension which provides up to 5mm of tool-free adjustment. Housed underneath the screw-down case back is the calibre 4130, which has a 72-hour power reserve, is Chronometer certified, and then tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.

The Daytona has been a staple of Rolex’s collection since 1963. The current new model, launched in 2016, the Daytona ref. 116500LN was the model enthusiasts had been eagerly anticipating. After offering its “Cerachrom” bezel on several precious metal variants years earlier, Rolex finally applied it to the stainless-steel version and popularity of the reference has sky-rocketed ever since.
