About this watch

White mother-of-pearl meets diamond hour markers in this compelling 40mm white gold Cosmograph Daytona configuration, where the precious metal case creates a sophisticated foundation for the iridescent dial's natural luminescence. The Rolex Daytona 116509 elevates the iconic chronograph beyond its steel siblings through the warmth of 18k white gold construction paired with the organic beauty of mother-of-pearl sourcing. Each dial surface exhibits unique nacre patterns that shift subtly under changing light conditions, while ten brilliant-cut diamond indices replace traditional applied markers at every hour position except 3, 6, and 9. This unworn example represents the premium tier of modern Daytona production, where Rolex's manufacturing excellence converges with genuine luxury materials.
