The Daytona was introduced in 1963 and named for the Florida speedway, built around a tachymetric scale that lets a driver read average speed over a measured distance. 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.
The 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.
Calibre 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.
The Oyster bracelet is fitted with the Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink extension, allowing five millimetres of adjustment without tools.
Rolex replaced this reference in 2023 with the 126500LN, closing a seven-year production run. This example dates to 2022 and is offered as a full set in very good condition, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.

Each piece is backed by a 7-day return window from the date of delivery. If a watch isn't right for you, contact our team within 7 days to arrange a return; the item must come back in the same condition it was sent, with all original packaging, box, and papers included if it shipped with them. Return shipping is insured the same way outbound shipping is.
