Lot Essay
Offered in 'like new' condition, the present timepiece is a highly attractive example of the sought-after Daytona reference 116500LN, often nicknamed the 'Panda' by Rolex aficionados for its striking contrast between the white dial and black subdials. The watch is furthermore accompanied by its full set of accessories.
In 2011, to great acclaim, Rolex launched the Daytona with a scratch-resistant Cerachrom bezel. This innovation first appeared on the 'Everose' gold model (reference 116515LN), then in 2013 on the first ever platinum Daytona (reference 116506). In 2016, Rolex introduced the Cerachrom bezel to stainless steel variants, launching both black and white dial version under reference 116500LN. These new models were an instant success and, along with their earlier stablemates, are among the most desired and hard to obtain modern Rolex watches.
