Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116500LN is already cemented as one of the most important modern Daytonas ever produced. Introduced in 2016, it marked the return of the white dial in stainless steel, paired with Rolex’s proprietary black Cerachrom bezel — a combination that instantly became a modern classic and an icon of contemporary watch collecting.
This October 2020 example represents the model at its peak: a 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case, screw-down chronograph pushers, and the highly legible white dial with black sub-dials that pays subtle homage to vintage “panda” racing chronographs. The ceramic bezel adds durability and a sharp, modern contrast, while preserving the unmistakable Daytona silhouette.
At its core is the Rolex Calibre 4130, an in-house chronograph movement celebrated for its efficiency, robustness, and architectural simplicity. Offered here in unworn condition with full stickers, and complete with its full set, this 116500LN stands as a benchmark modern Rolex — equally revered by collectors, enthusiasts, and purists.
