Reference 116500LN-0001 — the Rolex Daytona in a 40mm Steel case, White Standard dial, Black Ceramic Standard bezel, Oyster bracelet, used condition, circa 2018. It comes with its original papers. A spec sheet that holds its own among serious wrist time.
Manual-wind references from 1963 to 1987 established the bloodline, including the legendary "Paul Newman" exotic-dial variants collectors still chase. Everything since traces back to those hand-wound origins. The 116-prefix line ran caliber 4130 through roughly 2023, while the current 126-prefix series runs caliber 4131. Across the range, screw-down pushers, a tachymeter scale and three registers stay constant. Verify dial condition and original box-and-papers, since documentation materially impacts resale value.

Steel sports references carry most of the heat here. The Submariner, GMT-Master II and Daytona consistently sell above retail on the secondary market because demand keeps outrunning supply. Behind that is a Geneva manufacture founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, credited with early waterproofing, self-winding movements and date displays. The Oyster case, Perpetual rotor and Cyclops lens define it, and precision plus durability set the benchmark others follow. Browse all Rolex ›
