The 116508 is the current-generation Daytona in full 18k yellow gold with a yellow gold bezel and Oyster bracelet. It houses the Cal. 4130 in-house chronograph with 72-hour power reserve. The full-gold case, bracelet, bezel, pushers, and crown create a bold, warm-toned chronograph that makes no apologies for its material extravagance.
The 116508 became a cultural phenomenon when Rolex introduced the green dial variant — bright emerald green on full yellow gold. The combination was instantly iconic and commands the highest premiums of any standard-production gold Daytona.
Dial Options
Green — The "John Mayer" dial. Bright green lacquer on yellow gold. The most photographed, most discussed, and most expensive 116508 configuration. Commands $15,000–$25,000 more than other dials.
Champagne — Classic warm-toned dial that harmonizes with the gold case. The traditional gold Daytona look.
Black — High contrast against the yellow gold. Bold and sporty.
