Description
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116509 in white gold with blue dial is a striking and highly desirable variation of one of Rolex’s most iconic chronographs. Combining the understated luxury of 18k white gold with a vibrant sunburst blue dial, this reference offers a perfect balance between sportiness and exclusivity—subtle at first glance, yet unmistakably premium upon closer inspection.
The 40 mm Oyster case, crafted entirely from solid white gold, gives the watch a refined weight and presence on the wrist, while maintaining the classic Daytona proportions. The blue dial, often featuring contrasting subdials and red accents, enhances legibility and adds a dynamic character that sets it apart from more traditional configurations.
At its heart beats the renowned Rolex Calibre 4130, an in-house automatic chronograph movement celebrated for its precision, robustness, and approximately 72-hour power reserve. Designed with fewer components than typical chronograph movements, it ensures long-term reliability and efficient performance.
This example has been fully serviced in 2026, ensuring optimal mechanical condition, and is offered as a complete full set, including the original box, warranty card, and accessories.
A luxurious yet sporty timepiece, the white gold Daytona 116509 with blue dial is a standout piece for collectors seeking something both iconic and distinctive within the Daytona lineup.
Fun fact: While it looks similar to the stainless steel Daytona, the 116509 is crafted entirely from solid white gold, making it significantly heavier—something collectors often describe as a “hidden luxury” only noticeable when worn.
