The <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/rolex/daytona" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daytona</a> is arguably <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/rolex" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rolex</a>'s most desirable model line, with the present reference 116520 representing a major evolution as it was the first reference to employ an in-house movement.

The <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/rolex/cosmograph-daytona" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daytona</a> 116515LN with meteorite dial is one of those pieces that perfectly illustrates <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/watches/watch/rolex" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rolex</a>’s ability to blend technical mastery with artistry. The Everose gold case and Oysterflex bracelet give it a warm, contemporary feel, but the real star is the dial: cut from slices of the Gibeon meteorite, which fell in Namibia thousands of years ago. Each dial is unique because of the Widmanstätten patterns, those crystalline structures formed over millions of years of cooling in space.
