Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold YML Oysterflex 116518LN 2023 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Rolex Daytona 116518LN, discontinued in 2023, stands out for its blend of luxury and sporty design. Crafted with an 18kt yellow gold case and featuring a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, the watch exudes both elegance and resilience. One of the highlights is the Oysterflex bracelet, which offers the durability of a metal bracelet but with the lightweight comfort of a high-performance elastomer. This makes the 116518LN feel sportier and more versatile, perfect for those who prefer a refined timepiece without the added weight and flashiness of a full gold bracelet.

A noteworthy dial variant of this model is the YML (Yu Man Lok) dial, which combines a champagne backdrop with contrasting black sub-dials. This sophisticated color scheme adds a layer of refinement to the watch, while still maintaining its bold and sporty appearance. The champagne dial radiates warmth and luxury, while the black sub-dials provide sharp contrast, enhancing legibility and adding to the watch’s unique character. The YML dial variant is less common than other Daytona configurations, which enhances its appeal among collectors.

With the 116518LN’s discontinuation, the YML dial version has become even more sought-after. The combination of the sporty Oysterflex bracelet, yellow gold case, and the elegant champagne and black dial strikes a perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern performance. This particular configuration not only offers the versatility of a daily wear but also stands as a future collectible due to its distinctive aesthetics and rarity in the market.
