With its iconic shaped case and perfectly proportionate chronograph dial, it is hard to find a watch that can replace the Rolex Daytona. The ref. 116519 was launched at the turn of the century, highly desired for its all-white-gold livery of modern-production Daytonas, complete with the classic racing silhouette and slightly refreshed dial variants. In the flesh, the present example is immediately recognisable for its 40mm white gold case, screw-down crown and pushers, and tachymetric bezel that provides a distinctive aesthetic for the inimitable dial configuration. Fusing form and function, the off-white dial is complemented by black sub-registers with red accents and large Arabic numeral indexes, resulting in a clean and legible dial, an elegant comnination suited for any occasion. Since 2000, Daytonas are powered by the widely praised in-house cal. 4130, making its mark as a sulerlative chronometer timekeeper with a 72-hour power reserve.
