WHY WE LOVE IT
We all know the Daytona story — that of a model that has proven to be an all-time favorite amongst collectors.
Why? Rolex's brilliant motorsports chronograph is in pole position in any category, vintage or modern. And while current automatic versions admittedly don't do as much for us as a nice hand-cranking example, a Daytona is a Daytona, and that’s just fine with us.
But this is no ordinary modern Daytona... This particular watch , a Reference 116509, dates to circa 2005-2006 and features a 40mm 18k white gold Oyster case, a sapphire crystal, a matching 18k white gold Oyster bracelet with a signed Fliplock clasp with Rolexes fantastic Easylink system, and a sunburst silver 'race' dial with applied black gold Arabic indices and red accents throughout. This is no run of the mill Daytona...
The Daytona, in all its various guises, has long been a favorite of collectors the world over. This anachronistic example with its solid precious metal construction and a sporty dial offers something off the beaten path.
