Rolex Daytona 116518LN

The 2020 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116518LN in 18K yellow gold with a mother-of-pearl dial is a luxurious and refined interpretation of Rolex’s iconic chronograph. This model combines the brand’s renowned precision with the elegance of precious materials, making it a standout piece in the Daytona lineup.

The 40mm case is crafted from 18K yellow gold, offering a rich and warm hue that is both timeless and sophisticated. The watch features a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, which is not only scratch-resistant but also adds a modern touch to the classic design. The bezel is engraved with a tachymetric scale, allowing for the measurement of average speeds over a fixed distance.

Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal lies a stunning mother-of-pearl dial. The iridescent surface of the dial changes color depending on the angle of the light, creating a dynamic and captivating effect. The dial is adorned with applied 18K yellow gold hour markers and hands, which are coated with Chromalight luminescence for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions. The three subdials, which display the chronograph functions, are also in a contrasting color to ensure clarity and ease of use.

Powering the Daytona 116518LN is the Rolex Caliber 4130, an automatic chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and is known for its robustness and reliability. The chronograph function is controlled by a vertical clutch and a column wheel, ensuring precise and smooth operation.

The watch is fitted with Rolex’s innovative Oysterflex bracelet, which combines the robustness of a metal bracelet with the comfort of an elastomer strap. This design provides a secure fit and enhances the overall wearing experience. The bracelet is equipped with a folding Oysterlock clasp, which prevents accidental opening.
