Specialist note

Offered in very good overall condition, the present example of the iconic Daytona reference 116508 has become arguably the most soughtafter Daytona and quickly established itself as a key piece for any contemporary wristwatch collection. Enhancing its appeal, the green dial is creating a powerful contrast with the yellow gold case and bracelet.

Reference 116508 with green dial was launched at the 2016 Baselworld, equipped with a fully in-house Rolex movement, calibre 4130. With fewer components, meaning improved reliability and an easier servicing procedure, this new movement also had an increased the power reserve: 72 hours compared to its predecessors 54.
