Offered for sale is an exceptional Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116500LN, dating from 2017, presented with the highly sought-after white “Panda” dial, black Cerachrom bezel, and Oystersteel bracelet.

Introduced in 2016, the reference 116500LN marked a defining moment in the modern history of the Rolex Daytona, bringing the iconic chronograph together with Rolex’s innovative black Cerachrom bezel. The combination of the crisp white dial, contrasting black sub-dials, and black bezel quickly became one of the most recognisable and desirable configurations in the modern Daytona collection.

This particular example is especially remarkable for its new old stock condition. The watch remains completely unworn and fully covered in its original factory protective stickers, with no signs of scratches, dents, or previous wear. It has also never been polished, preserving the case and bracelet exactly as intended.

The watch is accompanied by an exceptionally complete set, including the original Rolex box and papers, double tags, and the serial number stamped on the exterior of the original box.

Powered by Rolex’s renowned in-house Calibre 4130, the Daytona combines exceptional chronograph performance with a robust 72-hour power reserve. The 40mm Oystersteel case, tachymetric scale, and iconic three-register chronograph design complete one of Rolex’s most celebrated sports watches.

Notes

The Rolex Daytona is one of the most iconic chronographs ever created, with a history deeply connected to motorsport and a design that has become synonymous with Rolex’s professional watchmaking.

The reference 116500LN occupies a particularly important place in the modern Daytona story. Its introduction brought the Daytona’s classic tachymetric bezel into a contemporary ceramic format, while the white Panda dial with black sub-dials created an instantly recognisable contrast that has become one of the defining configurations of the model.

What makes this particular example exceptionally compelling is its 2017 production combined with genuine NOS condition. The watch remains completely unworn and retains its original factory protective stickers, while the unpolished case and bracelet preserve the watch exactly as it was originally supplied.

The completeness of the set adds another significant dimension, with the original box and papers accompanied by the double tags and matching serial number stamped on the exterior of the original box.

For collectors who value originality, completeness, and exceptional preservation, finding a Daytona 116500LN from the early production years in this condition is a particularly rare opportunity.

A remarkable example of the modern Rolex Daytona, combining the iconic Panda dial, black Cerachrom bezel, Oystersteel construction, early 2017 production, and genuine unworn NOS condition.

A superb collector’s piece and an exceptional example of one of Rolex’s most celebrated modern sports watches.
