The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116500LN with its iconic “Panda” dial is one of Rolex’s most celebrated modern chronographs, blending motorsport heritage with contemporary design. Its crisp white dial with contrasting black sub-dials delivers exceptional legibility and a striking visual presence, framed by a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel engraved with a tachymeter scale for timing speed — a hallmark of the Daytona’s racing roots. Housed in a 40 mm Oystersteel case and fitted with Rolex’s robust Oyster bracelet, this model combines everyday sport-watch functionality with refined finishing. Inside beats the in-house Calibre 4130 automatic chronograph movement, renowned for its precision, reliability, efficient architecture, and approximately 72-hour power reserve. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and offering 100 m water resistance, the 116500LN balances performance and elegance, making it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Rolex watches a good investment?

How does Watch Channel verify Rolex authenticity?
Each Rolex undergoes a comprehensive inspection by our horology experts — covering serial numbers, movement calibration, crown etchings, and bracelet links. Only watches passing every authenticity checkpoint are listed for sale.
Why are Rolex watches so expensive?
Rolex maintains exceptional standards in in-house manufacturing — from proprietary steel alloys to precision-tested movements. Even pre-owned models retain value because of their craftsmanship and unmatched brand reputation.
How often should I service a Rolex?
Servicing every 5–7 years is recommended. Our team at Watch Channel can advise on model-specific maintenance schedules to preserve the watch’s accuracy and waterproofing.
Can I swim with my Rolex?
Certain models like the Submariner or Sea-Dweller are designed for water exposure. However, water resistance can diminish over time, so it’s wise to test seals periodically, especially for vintage or pre-owned pieces.
