The White Gold Daytona
The 116509 is the previous-generation Daytona in 18k white gold — produced from 2000 to 2016 with a polished white gold bezel and tachymeter scale engraved directly into the metal. Unlike the ceramic-bezel steel Daytonas, the 116509's metal bezel develops a subtle patina over time that white gold collectors appreciate. The Cal. 4130 in-house chronograph delivers column-wheel precision with 72-hour power reserve.
White gold is the stealth precious metal. From arm's length, the 116509 looks like a steel Daytona — same silver-white tone, same weight profile (white gold is slightly denser than steel, but the difference is subtle on the wrist). Up close, the finishing reveals it: the bezel engraving is sharper, the case polishing is finer, and the bracelet links have a depth of luster that steel cannot match.
Popular Dial Options
Blue sunburst — The signature 116509 dial. Deep blue against the white gold case creates a cold, refined palette. This is the most liquid 116509 configuration on the secondary market.
Silver / Steel — Neutral silver-toned dial. The most understated 116509 — the monochromatic effect across case, bezel, and dial reads as pure elegance.
Black — High-contrast black with white subdials. The most legible 116509 configuration and the preferred choice for daily wear.
Meteorite — Factory meteorite dial with unique natural grain pattern. No two meteorite dials are identical. Commands a significant premium over standard dials.
