Cosmograph Daytona – Ref. 116508-0009

A yellow gold Daytona with unmistakable presence.

‍

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116508-0009 is one of the most striking modern Daytona configurations, pairing an 18ct yellow gold case and Oyster bracelet with the highly desirable black and champagne “Paul Newman” style dial.

‍

The dial is what sets this reference apart. Its contrasting champagne sub-dials, black outer track, and red accents give the watch a distinctive vintage-inspired character, subtly echoing the design language of the legendary Paul Newman Daytona while remaining unmistakably modern Rolex.

‍

Crafted entirely in 18ct yellow gold, the 116508 carries a strong wrist presence while maintaining the balanced proportions that have made the Daytona one of the most iconic chronographs in the world. It is bold, refined, and instantly recognisable.

‍

Powered by the Rolex Calibre 4130, this reference delivers exceptional reliability, chronometer-certified precision, and a robust 72-hour power reserve. Designed originally for motorsport timing, the Daytona has since become one of the most sought-after luxury sports watches ever produced.

‍

This 2023 example is presented in unworn condition and comes as a full set, complete with its original box and papers. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a standout yellow gold Daytona, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable dial variations in the 116508 collection.
