Catalogue Essay
Launched to instant acclaim in 2016, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116500LN succeeded the beloved ref. 116520. It retains the robust caliber 4130 movement of its predecessor, while breaking new ground as the first Daytona in stainless steel to feature Rolex's innovative Cerachrom bezel. Initially released in two dial variations, the white "Panda" dial stands out with its striking contrast against the black subdials and Cerachrom bezel, contributing to its high desirability.
With its growing cult status, the ref. 116500LN has become one of Rolex's most challenging models to acquire directly from retailers, often accompanied by extremely long waitlists. Recently discontinued in 2023 and replaced by the new ref. 126500LN, the present example of the iconic Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116500LN "Panda" is offered complete with its original guarantee and accessories. This piece is sure to delight collectors seeking this landmark Cosmograph Daytona reference in “like-new” condition.

Rolex
Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
