For its first two decades it sold poorly. The collector market's later reassessment of those early references turned it into the most closely watched chronograph Rolex makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 116500LN arrived in 2016 and was the first steel Daytona fitted with a Cerachrom bezel, the tachymetric scale moulded into black ceramic and filled with platinum rather than printed on steel. The 40mm case is unchanged in its proportions from the reference it replaced. This example carries the black dial with contrasting light registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalibre 4130 has powered the Daytona since 2000 and remains one of the more elegantly resolved chronograph movements in series production, using a vertical clutch and column wheel with a reduced part count and a seventy-two hour power reserve. Water resistance is 10 ATM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oyster bracelet is fitted with the Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink extension, allowing five millimetres of adjustment without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolex replaced this reference in 2023 with the 126500LN, closing a seven-year production run.

Rolex has only ever made it in precious metal, and the association it acquired with heads of state and company chairmen gave the model the name by which its bracelet is still known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 228239 is the 40mm generation introduced in 2015, cased in 18ct white gold with a fluted bezel. The olive green dial with applied Roman numerals is among the more distinctive dial options Rolex offered in this reference, and it reads as considerably more restrained in white gold than the same dial would in yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalibre 3255 is part of the fourth-generation movement family Rolex began rolling out in 2015, with the Chronergy escapement, a blue Parachrom hairspring and a seventy-hour power reserve. It represented a meaningful improvement in both accuracy and service interval over the 3155 it replaced. Water resistance is 10 ATM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe President bracelet was designed alongside the original Day-Date in 1956 and has never been offered on a steel Rolex.

The first reference, the 1655, sold badly enough that it is now among the more sought-after Rolex sports references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16570 ran from 1989 to 2011, one of the longest production runs of any modern Rolex, in a 40mm steel case with a fixed engraved 24-hour bezel. This example dates to 1998, which places it in the tritium period before Rolex moved to Luminova. Tritium dials on the 16570 are increasingly difficult to find in good order and are the detail collectors of this reference look for first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalibre 3185 powered the reference through most of its life before Rolex switched to the 3186 in the later years of production, with a fifty-hour power reserve and 10 ATM water resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oyster bracelet is steel with a folding clasp, in the three-piece link construction Rolex uses across its professional models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is offered as a full set in very good condition — box and papers on a watch of this age are considerably harder to come by than the watch itself — and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50562712961094,"sku":"16570","price":8900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/7255\/2518\/files\/29629jxohdfu-z3nzgzo7pd2ttan0rpaqt0v0-ExtraLarge.jpg?v=1793352692"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/7255\/2518\/collections\/2D9A1DA3-1636-433E-9E04-5E08CCA70B9D.jpg?v=1789475304","url":"https:\/\/uptownexchange.co\/collections\/rolex-1.oembed","provider":"Uptown Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
