About this watch

Standing among the most coveted configurations in contemporary Rolex collecting, this white mother-of-pearl Arabic dial variant represents the pinnacle of the 116503 reference's aesthetic evolution. The 40mm yellow gold case creates a striking contrast against the lustrous pearl dial surface, where hand-applied Arabic numerals replace the traditional indices for enhanced legibility and classical elegance. This particular 116503 configuration has garnered significant recognition among collectors who appreciate the technical prowess of the Cosmograph movement paired with the refined luxury of precious metal construction. The unworn condition preserves every detail as intended by Rolex's Bienne manufacture.
