The Rolex Daytona reference 116509 stands among the most characterful interpretations of the model, combining the sporting pedigree of the Daytona with the understated luxury of white gold. While the Daytona has existed in stainless steel and yellow gold since the 1960s, it was not until the late 1990s that Rolex introduced a white gold variant, with the addition of a matching full white gold bracelet arriving in the mid-2000s.
Launched in 2004, the present reference exemplifies this evolution, pairing its precious metal construction with a refined black dial accented by subtle red details. The result is a highly versatile and stylish timepiece, equally suited for daily wear or more formal occasions.
Offered as a full set and preserved in a very appealing condition, this example represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a distinctive and sophisticated modern Daytona.
