Pre-owned Rolex Daytona ref 116509 (2018). When this white-gold Daytona with its striking blue sunburst dial debuted at Baselworld 2016, it shared the stage with some heavy hitters: the yellow-gold “John Mayer” Daytona and the first steel ceramic-bezel ref. 116500. With that kind of lineup, it’s no surprise the 116509 quietly slipped past many collectors at first. That’s changed in a big way. Now that Rolex has shifted to the 126509, this earlier reference is getting the attention it always deserved, especially from enthusiasts who appreciate its cleaner proportions and the unmistakable presence of solid 18k white gold. The blue dial, finished with bright red accents and Chromalight markers, gives this Daytona a sporty yet refined look that stands out without trying too hard. Inside is the legendary caliber 4130, Rolex’s first fully in-house chronograph movement and still one of the most respected in the category. A modern white-gold Daytona with serious collector appeal.
