An enduring modern classic, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in 18ct white gold with blue dial remains one of the most balanced and understated precious-metal Daytonas of the six-digit era.

This 2017 example is offered with original box & papers and features the striking sunburst blue dial paired with contrasting silver sub-dials — a configuration that delivers both clarity and quiet presence. The solid white gold Oyster case and bracelet provide discreet weight and refinement, while maintaining the unmistakable Daytona silhouette.

Powered by the in-house Calibre 4130, Rolex’s highly regarded column-wheel chronograph movement, the 116509 offers exceptional reliability with a 72-hour power reserve. The smooth bezel and monochromatic precious-metal finish give this reference a more refined, low-key aesthetic compared to its ceramic successors — a detail increasingly appreciated by collectors.

Sporting pedigree, precious metal execution, and everyday versatility — a Daytona that speaks softly but carries significant presence.
