Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Steel 40mm Black 116500LN 2019 [Preowned]
Overview
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116500LN, launched in 2016, marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of Rolex’s most iconic chronograph. For the first time, the classic stainless steel Daytona was paired with a sleek, scratch-resistant Cerachrom bezel, instantly modernizing its aesthetic while significantly enhancing durability. Now discontinued, the 116500LN has swiftly become one of the most coveted models in Rolex’s modern history, seamlessly blending contemporary materials with a design legacy that dates back to the 1960s.
The 40mm stainless steel Oyster case is masterfully paired with a striking monobloc Cerachrom bezel in black ceramic, which features a crisp engraved tachymetric scale filled with platinum PVD. This design is a clear nod to the vintage Daytona bezels but reimagined with state-of-the-art technology. The black dial is a model of clarity and balance, with applied Chromalight hour markers and polished subdial rings for the 30-minute, 12-hour, and running seconds counters. Subtle red text and the central chronograph hand lend just the right amount of contrast and energy, making the dial both functional and visually dynamic.
Inside, the Daytona 116500LN is powered by Rolex’s in-house Calibre 4130, a chronometer-certified automatic chronograph movement celebrated for its efficiency, reliability, and robust column wheel with vertical clutch architecture. This masterclass in integrated chronograph engineering offers a generous 72-hour power reserve, an anti-magnetic Parachrom hairspring, and precise start-stop-reset functionality. The Calibre 4130 is built entirely in-house to meet Rolex’s rigorous Superlative Chronometer standards, guaranteeing exceptional performance.
Fitted on a solid-link Oyster bracelet with the convenient Easylink extension system, the Daytona 116500LN is as robust as it is refined—a watch equally at home at the track or under a cuff. With its combination of high-performance materials, timeless proportions, and now-legacy status as a discontinued reference, this model occupies a special and highly sought-after place in the Daytona lineage. The 116500LN represents the perfect convergence of classic Rolex DNA and contemporary desirability.
