“With its striking contrast of yellow gold and green, this is one of the outstanding statement pieces of our time.”

With its striking, contrasting dial and famous racing case silhouette, the Rolex Daytona is arguably the most iconic watch ever produced, and this model 116508 is unquestionably one of the most recognisable Rolex watches of the past decade and the present day. Across the board, Daytonas have become unobtainable from retailers, and after that Hodinkee video with John Mayer, the green dial 116508 became, overnight, the most in-demand Daytona model in existence, gaining even more rarity now that the model has been discontinued. With a case and bracelet crafted from an 18k yellow gold forged in Rolex’s private foundry, the eye-catching bright green dial emanates stunning emerald hues, set against subtle red accenting across the sub-dials and the “Daytona” text, as well as gold-applied hands and hour markers. The Sunday finish employed on the dial ensures that the display looks near-black in artificial light, but a breathtaking vibrant green in the sunlight, giving the watch a multi-purpose quality. Powered by the exceptional in-house automatic cal.4130 movement, this is without doubt a watch for both the present and future.
