Launched at Baselworld in 2016 alongside its sibling reference 116508 with a green sunburst dial and yellow gold construction, reference 116509 is a very attractive, stealthy, and sporty timepiece featuring a blue sunburst dial with red accents, and an all white gold construction on bracelet.
Powering reference 116509 is the Rolex caliber 4130, the manufacturer's first in-house chronograph movement replacing the beloved Zenith-based caliber. The new movement has about 60% less parts than its predecessor, allowing for easier and more cost-friendly servicing, and the power reserve has also increased from 54 to 72 hours.
