The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116509 is the absolute classic and an icon from Rolex. Historically speaking, racing drivers in the mid-19th century should have wanted nothing more than a chronograph that could finally display speed in real time. With the Rolex Daytona, racers could read the speed in seconds. The Rolex brand has become a myth. An icon that combines timeless, luxury and precision. Incidentally, Rolex also appears to be one of the largest gold processing companies in the world. Furthermore, it is assumed that Rolex now produces almost 1 million watches annually. Over the decades, luxury watches have become increasingly cult and lifestyle.
The Rolex Daytona WG reference 116509 is one of the most famous representatives of the Swiss manufacturer. The finest white gold is available in size 40 mm, which can now be worn unisex. The Rolex Daytona white gold is available with different dial variations. It is a masculine watch that embodies a dynamic and extravagant lifestyle. It is not without reason that the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116509 is one of the most sought-after pieces from Rolex. To match the watch, the strap is equipped with the classic Oysterlock safety clasp made of 18 carat white gold. Shatterproof and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is used as the watch glass. This wonderful watch is a reliable companion for the man of the world on all occasions.
Inside the Daytona 116509 is a Rolex in-house caliber 4130, which was manufactured exclusively for the Cosmograph Daytona. It is made up of several hundred individual parts. Overall, however, slightly fewer individual parts are required for production than other Rolex wristwatches. This makes the automatic movement even more unique in its design. The Rolex Daytona has a power reserve of 72 hours. The Daytona Cosmograph reference 116509 is extremely durable. The Cosmograph Daytona WG is equipped with an automatic self-winding mechanism and is entirely developed and manufactured in-house by Rolex. The bezel of the chronograph has an engraved tachymeter scale, which allows the most important data to be read quickly and precisely.
The Rolex Daytona is waterproof up to one hundred meters. The chronograph is easiest to recognize because of its classic chronograph shape. In the 1960s, the Cosmograph experienced a further leap in development through the use of screw-on pushers instead of the traditional pushers on the original watch. We are sure that each model series of this luxury watch will continue to develop in the future, but without surpassing the charm of the previous model.
