Rl COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA 116509

• The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116509 is a true icon of precision engineering and motorsport heritage, crafted entirely in 18k white gold. First introduced in 1963, the Daytona collection was designed to meet the demands of professional racing drivers—and the 116509 reference brings that legacy into a luxurious, contemporary context with exceptional style and substance.

• The 40mm Oyster case is forged from solid 18k white gold, giving the watch a refined and luxurious presence without sacrificing its sporty edge. With polished lugs, a fixed engraved tachymeter bezel, and screw-down pushers, the Daytona 116509 blends timeless design with race-ready functionality. It’s water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), thanks to Rolex’s robust Oyster construction and Triplock screw-down crown system.

• The dial options for the 116509 are where the watch truly stands out—offered in striking colors like sunburst blue, steel grey, black, and racing red. The dial is accented by three sub-dials for the chronograph functions: a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, and small seconds at 6 o’clock. Luminous hour markers and hands filled with Chromalight ensure excellent readability in all lighting conditions.

• Powering this Daytona is the legendary Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement developed entirely in-house. Known for its robustness and efficiency, it features a vertical clutch and column wheel, ensuring smooth chronograph operation and superior reliability. It offers a 72-hour power reserve and is both COSC-certified and Superlative Chronometer-rated, delivering industry-leading precision.

• The watch is fitted with a solid 18k white gold Oyster bracelet, featuring Rolex’s Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink extension system, allowing for easy adjustment and a secure, comfortable fit.

• The Daytona 116509 is not just a luxurious chronograph—it’s a symbol of performance, heritage, and prestige. It appeals to those who appreciate the fusion of cutting-edge mechanics and elegant design, making it equally at home on the racetrack or in a refined setting.

• For collectors and connoisseurs, the 116509 is one of the most distinctive and exclusive Daytonas, thanks to its full precious metal construction and vibrant dial configurations. It embodies the spirit of endurance racing with the refined aesthetics Rolex is known for—making it a timeless addition to any serious watch collection.
