Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 2016, the white gold Rolex Daytona ref. 116509 with metallic blue dial quickly became a collector favorite for its striking colorway and full precious metal construction. The stealth yet luxurious white gold case and blue dial combination is an iconic design that has always captured the hearts of watch enthusiasts, making it a highly sought-after model.

Crafted entirely in 18k white gold, the watch balances sporty design with refined elegance, powered by Rolex’s in-house chronograph calibre 4130.

This 2017 example is preserved in virtually unworn condition with stickers intact on the watch. It is accompanied by its original box, guarantee card, and literature. Remarkably, the QR-code sticker remains intact on the case, indicating minimal, if any, handling since purchase.

With the model now discontinued, this pristine example offers a rare chance to acquire one of the most desirable modern Daytona references.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded 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.
