Rolex 116500LN Daytona Ceramic SS Black Dial

The Rolex 116500LN Daytona Ceramic is a monumental reference within contemporary sports chronographs, launched in 2016 to immense collector acclaim. Encased in 904L Oystersteel and featuring a monobloc Cerachrom ceramic bezel with tachymetric scale, this model modernized the legendary Daytona by fusing durability with uncompromising style. Its crisp black dial echoes the classic racing heritage of the Cosmograph lineage, while the luminous indices and subdials ensure both legibility and balanced design. At its heart lies Rolex’s revered in-house caliber 4130, renowned for its reliability and efficient vertical clutch chronograph mechanism. With a robust screw-down Triplock crown, the 116500LN offers a water resistance rating of 100 meters. Measuring 40mm across, with a 46.5mm lug-to-lug height and svelte 12.5mm profile, it maintains a universally wearable presence. Its integrated Oystersteel bracelet lends a cohesive, sporty elegance crucial to the Daytona character. Culturally, this reference is significant for propelling the steel Daytona to unprecedented desirability, in part thanks to its scarcity and sustained demand among serious collectors. The 116500LN stands as the epitome of modern Rolex chronograph mastery, carrying forward an iconic motorsport legacy. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2018.
