Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN is one of the most sought-after modern sports watches ever produced. Introduced in 2016 and powered by Rolex’s in-house calibre 4130, the reference marked the arrival of the first steel Daytona with a black Cerachrom bezel — instantly redefining the model’s modern silhouette and accelerating its status deep into collector mania.
This 2021 example features the jet-black dial configuration, a sleek and timeless layout that pays homage to classic racing chronographs while embracing Rolex’s latest technical advances. The 40 mm Oystersteel case, screw-down pushers, and sapphire crystal complete the blend of robustness and precision that keep the Daytona at the top of its category.
Still under international Rolex warranty until July 2026 and accompanied by its full set, this is as close to a flawless modern Daytona package as one can hope to find in today’s market.
