The Daytona Cosmograph has held a long and prestigious place within the Rolex collection of wristwatches, from pre-Daytona era watches of the 1950s like the reference 6234, to the first officially named Daytona reference 6239, there has been a tradition of fine watch making and with each new generation small subtle changes made to keep these timepieces updated and modern. The reference 116523 was the first stainless steel and yellow gold Daytona chronograph to feature Rolex’s new in-house caliber 4130. Released in 2000, the caliber 4130, replaced the famed Zenith El Primero caliber 4030. With fewer components than its predecessor, the caliber 4130 revolutionized the chronograph movement with precision, efficiency and performance.

The present watch is a fine example of the two-tone Rolex Daytona with its stainless steel case and engraved gold bezel with gold screw down pushers. The watch is sporty with its white dial and golden subsidiary registers. Complete with original guarantee and presentation box, this chronograph provides an excellent opportunity for Daytona fans to owner a stellar watch.
