Rolex 116500LN Daytona Ceramic SS Black Dial

Introduced at Baselworld 2016, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN marked a significant milestone for the brand’s legendary chronograph, pairing Oystersteel refinement with Rolex’s first Cerachrom black ceramic bezel on a steel Daytona. This reference elevated the enduring appeal of the Daytona line, originally debuted in 1963, by blending contemporary materials with the instantly recognizable design DNA. Its black dial features striking white sub-registers and the vibrant red "Daytona" script, giving the watch a subtle edge and exceptional legibility. Powering the 116500LN is the in-house caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement renowned for robust reliability, a vertical clutch, and a 72-hour power reserve, reflecting Rolex's pursuit of mechanical excellence. Collectors esteem this model for its production span (2016–2023), transitional status, and status as the final steel Daytona with the 4130 caliber before the 2023 update to caliber 4131. With its 100m water resistance and screw-down pushers, the 116500LN remains suited for both urban elegance and sporting function. Its robust Oystersteel case and bracelet underscore both versatility and durability, while the Cerachrom bezel resists scratches and fading. Offered with high demand and long waitlists, the 116500LN has become a cornerstone for Daytona collectors, solidifying its place as a modern icon within the broader Rolex chronograph legacy.
