A legendary watch that requires no introduction, the Rolex Daytona is perhaps the most coveted chronograph on the market. While its stainless-steel variants seem to demand all of the attention, it is the precious metal variants, like the ref. 116519 we have here, which slip under the radar and present a genuine source of value on the open market. With its luxurious 18kt white gold case construction, this timepiece provides the best of both worlds from an aesthetic standpoint in that it makes a statement thanks to its gold, yet appears refined and sporty thanks to its steel and black dial paired with the brand’s Oysterflex bracelet. Featuring the latest in Rolex’s movement technology, its automatic cal. 4130 movement is a masterpiece in horological engineering. With over 20 years of service under its belt, it is fair to say that the cal. 4130 is tried and tested, and the watch it powers certainly is too with its decades-old design, legacy and impact on the watchmaking community not to be dismissed. The present watch comes on a third party rubber strap and is accompanied by its original Oysterflex strap as well.
