ROLEX | REFERENCE 116508 DAYTONA A YELLOW GOLD AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH BRACELET, CIRCA 2019

The Daytona has been one of Rolex’s most consistently popular models since its introduction in 1963. Since then, the model has evolved, with the current iteration of the model available in steel, pink, white, and yellow gold, as well as bi- metal and platinum, and with metal or Cerachrom bezels and any number of dial, strap and bracelet combinations. Launched in 2016 at Baselworld, the 18K yellow gold ref. 116508 retains many of the features that make the Daytona so iconic, including the fixed Tachymetric scale bezel, screw-down chronograph pushers and the sub dials at 3, 6 & 9. However, it was the first Daytona to be supplied with a green dial with contrasting applied yellow gold hour markers. Whilst initially overshadowed by its black and white-dialed steel brothers with their Cerachrom bezels, the green 116508 has become one of the most in-demand and desirable offerings from Rolex, particularly after its appearance on the wrist of well-known collector and musician John Mayer.

This example is in excellent unworn condition, with original factory case protection, and is accompanied by its original guarantee card as well as its full suite of accessories.
