Rolex Discontinued Daytona 116518 18k Yellow Gold

The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is the ultimate tool watch for those with a passion for driving and speed. 

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Rose Gold 116519LN is a stand-out sports reference. Its an exceptional variation of the classic racer’s watch that debuted in the 1960's. 

The case is crafted entirely from 18KT white gold with a high-polish finish. It has a black Oysterflex band with a solid 18KT white gold folding oysterlock buckle. This men's Rolex is the epitome of success and high-class. A gloss black dial with diamond hour markers and black/gold subdials offers a handsome contrast against the lustrous white gold finish. Despite its luxurious design, the Daytona is a racer’s watch through and through. The case is built tough, offering resistance to the extreme temperatures and shocks experienced while taking part in endurance races. The case also offers a Rolex calibre 4130 self-winding automatic COSC superlative chronometer certified perpetual movement, complete with anti-shock technology and stopwatch functions. 

The calibre 4130 is an automatic chronograph movement that combines practicality, cutting-edge technology and compact design.

This calibre also boasts a 72 hour power reserve, 28,800 vph and 44 jewels. The Chronograph features a large central chronograph seconds hand, 30 minute counter sub-dial at 3 o’clock, 12 hour counter sub-dial at 9 o’clock, and small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. Its dial carries in red letters the name “Daytona” – the most famous motor racing circuit in the United States. The wearer can also calculate driving speeds of up to 400 kilometers per hour, thanks to the addition of a Tachymeter bezel. A modern Oysterlock safety clasp holds the 7″ bracelet secure and features an Easylink extension link, allowing the wearer to adjust the length of the bracelet up to 5mm.
