Historical and significant, the Rolex Daytona in steel has been a favorite for more than half a century.  The latest version is definitely its most refined version; with a solid steel Oyster bracelet, a scratch resistant ceramic bezel with engraved tachymeter scale, and a reliable and robust in-house Rolex movement.  The 40mm size is a generous size for men and yet suitable on women too.  And this is just a perfect package of practicality, historical significance, reliability, and versatility - it's a "James Bond" watch that will go well with both swimsuit attire and tuxedo attire. 

The steel Daytona is a watch that receives great respect among established collectors and new-to-watch-people alike.  It's definitely a difficult watch to procure and for the past twenty years it's been in very short supply.  Generally one has to be selected and well-liked by an authorized dealer in order to have the privilege to procure such a piece.  It also normally requires significant patronizing of that authorized dealer's jewelry department as well and multiple years of consistent acquisition history. 

This piece, presented for your consideration by WatchProSite Moderator Patrick_Y is a superb example was sold in 2017.  The watch is for sale by its original owner, who acquired the watch from a major authorized dealer in 2017.  I am also pleased to inform you that the watch has been worn in a rotation by a collector who has a collection of several pieces and is in overall very good to excellent condition. 

Condition: Watch is in overall Very Good to Excellent condition.  Watch is part of a multiple watch collection and has only been occasionally worn.  Watch has NEVER been polished.  No case damage.  Watch has never been dropped.  The bezel is in PERFECT condition and shows the watch has never been polished.  The sapphire crystal has no chips nor scratches and is in PERFECT condition.  The bracelet is in very good condition, some hair line scratches on the bracelet links, and one 2cm light rubbing on the clasp (the rubbing is so light, that it can be easily polished without changing the watch profile). The watch comes complete with box sleeve, outer box, inner box, and all the paperwork as you see in the photo.  This watch is considered to be "complete."  

 

Provenance: Timepiece was purchased at a major authorized dealer.  All box and papers are included.  Original owner is the seller being represented by WatchProSite Moderator Patrick_Y.

 

Guarantee: Assurance of a fair transaction considering a WatchProSite moderator is handling the sale.  As a moderator of WatchProSite, you can rest assured that I won’t disappear on you.

📖 About This Reference

The Cosmograph Daytona reference 116500LN represents a significant evolution within the Daytona collection, introducing a black Cerachrom bezel to the steel model. This reference succeeded the 116520 and quickly became a highly sought-after contemporary chronograph. It maintains the classic Daytona aesthetic while incorporating modern material technology for enhanced durability and scratch resistance on the bezel. This reference features a 40 mm Oyster case crafted from Oystersteel, paired with a fixed black Cerachrom bezel with an engraved tachymetric scale. It is powered by the in-house Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement known for its robust construction and precision. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring water resistance up to 100 meters. Appealing to collectors interested in modern Rolex chronographs, the 116500LN is available with either a white or black dial, both offering high contrast against the black bezel. Its combination of traditional steel construction with advanced ceramic technology positions it as a key reference in the ongoing development of the Cosmograph Daytona line, bridging classic design with contemporary material science.

Who said lightning doesn’t strike twice in same location?
Based on a true story…. Earlier this week, my AD said they have a Christmas present for me, to appreciate my business and long term friendship. This is not the first time they have gave us holiday presents. We stopped by the store and they brought this out, in a Starbucks brown bag, so I thought “Ok

Rolex Daytona 116500 vs 16520 photo review.
This is a simple side by side comparison of the Rolex Daytona 116500 vs Rolex Zenith 16520. Both are black dials. On the surface there is a lot more similar aspects than one would imagine. I will let the pictures do the talking. Rolex Daytona 116500 vs 16520

Mixed feelings for Daytona 116500LN...
Daytona. I wanted it so badly when it was launched back in 2016, but the hype and therefore waitlist made it impossible and so...I move on. Fast forward to 2020 and I was presented the opportunity to purchase the 116500LN at MSRP. The love is no longer as strong, I took it nonetheless. I am still un
