Our remarks

ROLEX Cosmograph Daytona, Reference 116509, 18k White Gold, Blue Dial, Box and Papers, Year 2020, Excellent, Full Set

Introduced in 2016, this white gold Daytona quietly became one of the most sought-after modern references before being discontinued, its bright blue dial standing out as one of the most striking precious metal Daytona configurations Rolex has ever produced.

The 40mm case is solid 18k white gold, topped with a matching white gold bezel featuring the engraved tachymeter scale, screw-down pushers and Triplock crown, worn on the 18k white gold Oyster bracelet for genuine wrist presence.

The sunburst blue dial pairs Chromalight-filled white gold hands and index hour markers with three black subdials, the small seconds at six, a 30-minute counter at three and a 12-hour counter at nine, a look that shifts from vivid blue to near-navy depending on the light.

Inside runs the caliber 4130, Rolex's own automatic chronograph movement with a 72 hour power reserve, 44 jewels and full Superlative Chronometer certification.

This example is offered as in:

- Excellent condition

- Full set with box and papers, describtion booklet, lether card holder and plastic bezel protector

"A blue dial Daytona that never chased a nickname, still one of the best-looking modern Rolex chronographs ever made."
