Rolex
Cosmograph Daytona

The inception of the automatic Rolex Daytona in 1988 represented a dramatic change in Rolex's chronograph family. Apart from the obvious mechanical difference, indeed, the new course of style was radically different from what had been seen earlier, since the Daytona no longer had contrasting subdials.

This was until a new dial design found its way inside gold Daytonas like this 116518 from 2007. Champagne subdials contrast against the black dial, with the icing on the cake being the red accents provided by the chronograph hand and the outer minute track.

The watch is fitted on its factory original Oysterflex rubber band, and is perfectly preserved in full set conditions. It's a very sporty and fresh take on the most sought after chronograph in the world!
