📖 About This Reference
**Rolex Daytona Reference 116518**
The reference 116518 represents Rolex's two-tone approach to the Daytona chronograph collection, combining steel and yellow gold construction with a champagne dial configuration. This reference was produced from 2000 to 2016, positioning it within the brand's precious metal Daytona offerings.
The 40mm case utilizes two-tone steel and yellow gold construction with a fixed tachymeter bezel and sapphire crystal. Water resistance extends to 100 meters. The automatic Cal. 4130 movement provides 72 hours of power reserve. The champagne dial creates contrast against the mixed-metal case construction.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Daytona chronograph functionality in a two-tone precious metal format. The 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet complements the case's mixed-metal approach, while the champagne dial offers an alternative to standard white or black configurations within the Daytona range.
Collector Discussions
Serious comfort issues with the Oysterflex rubber strap.
I know that most people are claiming the superior comfort of the Oysterflex rubber strap but my experience with this strap was not good. In fact it revealed to be annoying uncomfortable on my wrist. The reason are the special cushioning pads that are supposed to stabilize the watch on the wrist and
Surprising new acquisition from Friday. I love the gold / black contrast of this 116518LN
Not expected to get this watch so fast. The handing over outside was kind of bizarre but remains as a special memory connected with this watch
Rolex Daytona 116518... Green Dial.
We learn everyday. I didn't know this version existed. Credit picture: Meertz. Surprising, but working combination, in my opinion, even if it is not my favorite. What do you think? Best, Nicolas
