The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN is the predecessor to the currently offered Daytona ref. 126500LN released in early 2023. Launched in 2016, the Daytona 116500LN was the most talked-about watch of that year, with high interest at launch. While the Daytona design has always been more evolution than revolution, the most striking change to this reference was its use of ceramic for the bezel, compared to the stainless steel bezels seen in previous generations.

The Rolex Daytona has been and will always be the unofficial flagship model for Rolex, partly due to its rich history and its association with famous individuals. At 40mm, it's a wearable watch for almost any wrist size, and its design language sits amongst some of the most fabled timeless designs in modern history.

Rolex was founded in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis. The company began as a modest endeavor, assembling watches from imported parts. However, Rolex soon grew into an internationally renowned brand through the great business strides that the young Hans made.

The Rolex name is inextricably linked to the ubiquity of the modern wristwatch, from humble beginnings to epitomizing achievement and prestige. The crown has transcended film, literature, fashion, culture, and history, worn by record-breakers, presidents, and fictional characters.
