Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 18kt White Gold with Monobloc Middle Case and Screw-Down Case Back with Winding Crown, Gorgeous Rare Steel and Black Dial, Luminescent Index Hour Markers and Hands, 18kt White Gold Tachymeter Engraved Bezel, 18kt White Gold Oysterlock Bracelet

The 40mm diameter Oyster solid three-body case, bracelet, and flat bezel with a tachymeter graduation to 400 UPH, are polished/brushed. The dial is silver with luminous applied white gold "boat-shaped" and square hour markers, luminous white gold baton hands, a white gold center sweep chronograph second hand with an arrow tip and a small ovoid counterbalance, and there is a black perimeter minute/seconds scale with 8 white luminous pips at 6 o'clock. It has three recessed black subsidiary dials with white Arabic numerals, markers, and white gold indicator hands, including a constant running small seconds register at 6 o'clock, a 12-hour chronograph register at 9 o'clock, and there is a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock. It's water resistant to 100 meters/330 feet, it has a 72-hour power reserve at full winding, and the 12mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. It has an integral 18K white gold three-link Oyster bracelet with a foldover deployant clasp, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It has a solid screwed-down case back and chronograph pushbuttons, and the crown guard protects the signed Triplock winding crown.

This Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116509 has a mechanical automatic self-winding Rolex caliber 4130 column wheel chronograph movement. It's rhodium-plated, and it's constructed with 44 jewels, a shock absorber mechanism, a straight-line lever escapement, and a monometallic balance that's adjusted to temperatures and 5 positions. It includes a self-compensating free-sprung Breguet balance spring, a hacking seconds device, Microstella regulating screws, a blue Parachrom hairspring and overcoil, and the mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz).

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is widely regarded as one of the most coveted and valuable Rolex watches ever made for several reasons. Its status as an iconic timepiece, its association with motorsports, its limited availability, and its exceptional craftsmanship all contribute to its desirability and value.

Iconic Status: The Daytona has gained an iconic status in the world of luxury watches. It was first introduced in 1963 and quickly became synonymous with high-performance chronographs. Its distinctive design, featuring three sub-dials on the dial and an engraved tachymeter bezel, has become instantly recognizable and highly sought after by watch enthusiasts.

Motorsport Association: The Daytona owes much of its appeal to its strong association with motorsports. Rolex's partnership with the Daytona International Speedway, one of the most prestigious motorsport venues in the world, further solidified the watch's connection to the racing world. Additionally, the Daytona gained popularity among race car drivers, including famous personalities like Paul Newman, who famously wore a Daytona, elevating its desirability even further.

Limited Availability: Rolex is known for its strict production control and limited supply of watches, which creates a sense of scarcity and exclusivity. The Daytona, in particular, has historically had a limited production, making it challenging to acquire. This scarcity drives up demand and increases its value in the secondary market. Additionally, Rolex releases new Daytona models in limited quantities, often with long waiting lists, making it even more exclusive.

Exceptional Craftsmanship: Rolex watches are renowned for their precision, durability, and meticulous attention to detail. The Daytona is no exception. It houses a highly accurate and reliable self-winding chronograph movement, manufactured entirely in-house by Rolex. The movement undergoes rigorous testing and meets the brand's stringent standards, ensuring exceptional performance. The rarity, desirability, and enduring popularity of the Daytona have made it a sought-after investment piece.
