“In yellow gold on an Oysterflex bracelet, a superb combination of performance, style and luxury.”

Designed in 1963 as the ultimate timing tool for endurance racing drivers, the Rolex Daytona is arguably the most iconic watch in existence, and with this model, the 116518LN, Rolex have blended chic vintage design with state-of-the-art materials. The watch features a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, a Rolex patent which is resistant to scratches and fading, whilst keeping a classic, luxurious colour scheme of gold with contrasting deep black subdials, the unique “Daytona look” and one which offers increased dial legibility. The watch’s 18k yellow gold case and shimmering golden dial combine with a more understated, sporty black rubber strap for a highly appealing daily wearer, and for a yellow gold watch, the 116518 surprisingly makes itself at home on the beach or in the boardroom. With its 40mm case, this is not a watch that goes easily unnoticed, and even after hours its Chromalight display with long-lasting blue luminescence will catch the eye. The final contemporary flourish is the watch’s pairing with the Oysterflex bracelet, containing a hidden superelastic metal blade for durability, flexibility and resistance. A piece of modern history.
