Rolex Yellow Gold Cosmograph Daytona 40 Watch - Black Index Dial - 116508 bki

Since its introduction in 2016, the reference 116508 marked Rolex's bold return to solid gold construction for the modern Daytona, departing from the two-tone variants that preceded it. This particular example showcases the striking contrast between its lustrous yellow gold 40mm case and the sophisticated black index dial—a combination that quickly became the most sought-after configuration within the 116508 family. The Oyster bracelet construction in matching yellow gold creates a cohesive aesthetic that represents Rolex's commitment to monolithic precious metal sports watches. As part of the final generation before the movement upgrade to caliber 4130, this unworn 116508 represents a pivotal moment in Daytona evolution.
