A revolutionary change in the Daytona lineup occurred in 2000 when Rolex updated the automatic Cosmograph Daytona, introducing the brand’s first, fully in-house chronograph movement, the caliber 4130. The present Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116518 in yellow gold features such a movement and is fitted with a mesmerizing yellow mother-of-pearl dial with Roman numerals. Mother of pearl has a natural, lustrous quality and adds a touch of elegance and luxury to the robustness one would expect from a Cosmograph Daytona. The result is nothing less than a stunning, shimmering dial that catches the light and sparkles like no other. Exuberant in design thanks to the combination of warmth and iridescence, the watch breathes charisma and audacity. Offered in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its original guarantee, the present example is a spectacular option for collectors seeking a subtle hint of flare combined with the already iconic aesthetics of the Daytona model.
