ROLEX | REFERENCE 116509 DAYTONA A WHITE GOLD AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH BRACELET, CIRCA 2006

Rolex debuted the first Cosmograph Daytona with an in-house movement in 2000 via the reference 116520 in steel. Previously, the brand relied on a Zenith movement that they modified and upgraded to meet their exacting standards. The debut of a completely Rolex-produced Daytona in stainless steel made the ref. 116520 one of the hottest sports watches on the market. Subsequently, Rolex introduced more luxurious versions of the reference, such as the ref 116509 in 18k white gold. Today, this model remains extremely popular due to its classic timeless design, storied history, and wearability. The ref. 116509 features a traditional 40mm Oyster case and flat-link Oyster bracelet all constructed in 18k white gold. The bezel displays a 400-kilometer Tachymeter scale. The luscious black dial with red accents features 18k white gold applied Arabic numerals.

The current example is in very good overall condition and is accompanied by its Rolex presentation box with outer packaging, International Guarantee card dated February 12, 2008, International Service Guarantee dated June 15, 2011 cardholder, booklets, and one additional link.
