A bold contrast of yellow gold, black ceramic and a light panda dial gives the reference 116518LN a character quite distinct from the traditional full-gold Daytona. The configuration balances the richness of its 18K yellow gold Oyster case with the more technical appearance of the black Cerachrom bezel, creating a modern interpretation of Rolex’s celebrated chronograph.

The panda dial provides the visual focus, its contrasting chronograph registers bringing depth and definition to the familiar three-counter layout. Against the lighter background, the darker registers immediately recall the high-contrast chronograph dials that have played an important role throughout the history of the Daytona.
Its black monobloc Cerachrom bezel is engraved with the tachymeter scale and offers a sharp visual boundary between dial and case. Beneath the dial, the self-winding calibre 4130 combines a column wheel and vertical clutch within Rolex’s integrated chronograph architecture, conceived for reliability, efficiency and precise operation.

Dating from 2020, the present example brings together the sporting vocabulary of the modern Daytona with the warmth of yellow gold and the graphic appeal of a panda dial.
