Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm - Ref. 116523

For sale is a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116523 from 2000, presented in the classic combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold with a crisp white dial.

The Daytona
The Cosmograph Daytona is one of Rolex’s most iconic sports watches, originally developed with professional motor racing in mind. The Ref. 116523 combines the Daytona’s unmistakable chronograph design with Rolex’s two-tone construction, balancing its sporting character with the warmth of yellow gold.

The Dial
The watch features a clean white dial contrasted by yellow gold surrounds to the three chronograph sub-dials. Applied yellow gold hour markers with luminous inserts are paired with matching gold hands, while the red DAYTONA signature above the 6 o’clock sub-dial adds a subtle touch of colour.

The combination of the white dial, gold detailing and black markings gives the watch a particularly crisp and well-balanced appearance while retaining the unmistakable character of the Daytona.

The Case & Bracelet
The 40mm Oyster case is crafted from stainless steel and complemented by an 18k yellow gold fixed tachymeter bezel, crown and chronograph pushers. The gold bezel shows some visible scratches and signs of wear consistent with use, as shown in the photographs, while the watch otherwise presents in good overall condition.

The watch is fitted to its original two-tone Oyster bracelet, featuring brushed stainless steel outer links and polished 18k yellow gold centre links, continuing the contrasting steel and gold finish throughout the watch.

The Movement
Powering the watch is Rolex’s automatic chronograph movement, offering the precision, reliability and functionality for which the Daytona has become renowned. The movement is officially certified as a Superlative Chronometer and provides the watch with its central chronograph seconds and three-register display.
