Introduced in 1963, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona was born from the golden age of motorsport, designed specifically for professional drivers who needed precision timing on the track. Over the decades, it has become not only the ultimate racing chronograph but also one of the most sought-after luxury watches in the world, symbolizing speed, prestige, and timeless style. The reference 116500LN, launched in 2016, represented a milestone in the Daytona’s evolution, bringing for the first time a Cerachrom bezel in high-tech black ceramic, ensuring both durability and a sleek, modern aesthetic.
This particular Rolex Daytona Ref. 116500LN, produced in 2022, comes in the highly coveted “Panda” configuration — a striking white dial with contrasting black subdials that enhances legibility and gives the watch its iconic, sporty character. The 40mm Oystersteel case houses Rolex’s in-house caliber 4130, a self-winding chronograph movement known for its reliability, vertical clutch, and extended 72-hour power reserve. Its Chromalight display ensures visibility in low-light conditions, while the screw-down pushers and Triplock crown guarantee 100m water resistance.
Offered in pristine, unworn-like condition, this example is a Full Set, complete with original box, papers, booklets, and warranty card. A must-have for serious collectors, it stands as one of the most desirable modern sports watches on the market today — a piece that combines Rolex’s racing heritage with contemporary engineering perfection.
