Rolex 116500LN Daytona "Panda" Ceramic SS White Dial

Released at Baselworld 2016, the Rolex 116500LN marks a pivotal update to the iconic Daytona lineage by introducing the black Cerachrom ceramic bezel matched with the robust 904L Oystersteel case. The white dial variant, affectionately dubbed the "Panda" by collectors for its contrasting black subdials, draws inspiration from coveted vintage Daytona aesthetics while delivering cutting-edge modern durability. Powered by the in-house Caliber 4130 automatic chronograph movement—with a vertical clutch and column wheel for impeccable chronograph precision—this reference offers up to 72 hours of power reserve. As the flagship chronograph of Rolex, the 116500LN is known for its superb legibility, slim 12.4mm profile, and a 40mm diameter that wears elegantly on a variety of wrists. The watch is equipped with a robust stainless steel Oyster bracelet and a Triplock screw-down crown for a water resistance of 100 meters, making it practical for everyday wear. Revered for both its technical prowess and its place in modern collecting canon, the reference 116500LN quickly developed a cult following, intensifying demand and elevating its status as a contemporary classic. This model is part of the Cosmograph Daytona line, a mainstay since 1963, and continues the heritage of high-performance, precision timing. Collectors value the "Panda" for its blend of nostalgia and updated engineering, creating an enduringly relevant entry in Rolex’s sport chronograph legacy.
