Launched in 2016 at Baselworld, the present Rolex Daytona reference 116508 follows its deluxe predecessor examples with an all gold construction and engraved tachymeter bezel graduated to 400 units. This heavy and impressive watch is fitted on a solid gold Oyster bracelet and is further enhanced by diamond indexes which vibrantly pop against the glossy black dial. The iconic "Daytona" text is printed in red above 6 o'clock, following the tradition of the storied line while providing an aesthetically pleasing contract to the dial.
