Rolex 116509 The reference 116509 represents Rolex's white gold execution within their chronograph lineup. Distinguished by its precious metal construction throughout both case and bracelet, this 40mm reference was produced from 2000 to 2016, positioning it as a luxury variant in the collection. The 40mm case is crafted from 18k white gold and fitted with a fixed tachymeter bezel. A white dial sits beneath sapphire crystal, while the automatic Cal. 4130 movement provides 72 hours of power reserve. Water resistance extends to 100 meters. The watch is completed by an 18k white gold Oyster bracelet. This reference appeals to collectors seeking precious metal chronographs with matching bracelet construction. The white gold case and bracelet combination, paired with the white dial, creates a monochromatic aesthetic. With its 16-year production run ending in 2016, the 116509 represents a substantial period in the model's evolution before newer references took its place.
