Let’s find out more about this masterpiece, the factors making it sought after by luxury watch lovers around the world, and if it is indeed worth the hype.
The Evolution from Platinum to Ceramic
Well, on its 50th birthday in 2013, the iconic Daytona 116520 was thought to get a beautiful ceramic upgrade. However, Rolex surprised its enthusiasts worldwide with a sophisticated platinum piece. Since then, the watch community has long waited for the advent of the model featuring a ceramic bezel. After three years, the Cosmograph Daytona 116520 has been upgraded to the 116500LN. It is the heritage brand's classic racing chronograph meticulously updated in 904L steel featuring a black Cerachrom bezel. Everything about it is adorable—from the mesmerising ice blue dial to the richly finished case. But what truly makes a Rolex Daytona for sale extraordinary?

A Legend Was Born
Whether it’s a Rolex Daytona rainbow or Rolex Daytona with green dial, this sublime creation is one of the few watches in history that can aptly be hailed as an 'icon'. Rolex initially created it in 1963, but got its name a year later. At first, the Swiss luxury brand thought it might be suitable as a space watch. However, this destiny was eventually fulfilled by Omega's Speedmaster. Hence, the watchmaker focused on the motorsport world, which was gaining a massive interest from the public at the time. Ultimately, the opulent, sporty chronograph was named after the heart of motor racing in North America—the Daytona International Speedway in Florida. And, this paved the way for the birth of a timeless legend.

The Black Bezel’s Charm
As anyone would expect from a powerhouse brand like Rolex, Daytona's evolution has been gradual, intentional, and delicate—all contributing to its lasting charm. So, what is exceptional about its latest edition? The 116500LN features a smart black cerachrom bezel that evidently pays homage to the classic style of its Daytona ancestors. The entire bezel comes in one single piece, and the numerals sport a platinum PVD treatment that oozes an enthralling lustre. The timepiece is offered in two versions: one with a white dial and one with black, both with impeccably contrasting chronograph subdials.

Best-in-Class Craftsmanship
Another factor that will make anyone fall in love with the 116500LN Rolex Daytona for sale is its size and wearability. While it still remains at 40mm, the new, elegant black bezel lends it a spirit of boldness and gives it a dominant feel on the wrist. What's more, the remarkable automatic calibre 4130 that powers the watch has COSC Chronomètre and Superlative Chronomètre certifications. The latter is Rolex's in-house accreditation that ensures the movement's accuracy to -2/+2 seconds per day.
Today, the Daytona 116500LN is one of the most impactful creations in the global watch community. It's a difficult timepiece to find and own, thereby further boosting its appeal.
