Rolex Cosmograph Daytona – Yellow Gold & Black Dial on Oysterflex Ref. 116518LN

An icon reborn in precious metal, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116518LN in 18k yellow gold exudes performance, elegance, and racing heritage. This modern interpretation of Rolex’s most celebrated chronograph combines a bold black dial with cutting-edge materials — blending luxury with sport in a way only Rolex can.

The 40mm case is crafted from solid 18k yellow gold and fitted with a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, engraved with a tachymetric scale that nods to the Daytona’s motorsport legacy. With a polished profile and screw-down pushers, the case maintains a professional-grade water resistance of 100 meters while offering unmistakable wrist presence and warmth.

The deep black dial features gold-trimmed sub-dials in the classic 3-6-9 configuration, designed for effortless legibility and balance. Applied yellow gold hour markers filled with Chromalight luminescence provide high visibility in all conditions, while the red “Daytona” text arcs elegantly above the small seconds sub-dial.

Securing the watch is the high-performance black Oysterflex bracelet — a flexible metal blade overmoulded with elastomer, delivering the comfort of rubber with the strength of metal. It’s equipped with an 18k yellow gold Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension system for perfect adjustability.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding chronograph movement engineered entirely in-house. Renowned for its durability and efficiency, it offers a 72-hour power reserve, vertical clutch, column wheel mechanism, and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification — assuring exceptional accuracy and reliability.

With its commanding presence, impeccable craftsmanship, and legendary functionality, the Daytona 116518LN is more than a timepiece — it’s a modern racing icon wrapped in gold.
