Rolex Daytona 116519

Rolex Daytona 116519

The Daytona was the last Rolex watch fitted with an outsourced movement—the Caliber 4030, a modified Zenith El Primero—until it finally replaced this with its in-house Caliber 4131 in 2000. Clearly the company was in exuberant mood that year as it shed its usually conservative approach to watch design and released the so-called “Daytona Beach” models in white gold. These were so called due to their exotic colours and dials that were either mother-of-pearl, like this one, or hardstone. Whereas some dials feature Roman numerals, this one boasts diamond hour markers, and it even comes on its original pink lizard-skin strap, no longer available from Rolex. These “Beach Daytonas” were a highly unusual release from Rolex and are hugely collectible. This Rolex Daytona 116519 has a mother of pearl pink - diamond dial and a leather strap. This Rolex has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. All our watches have a 24-month warranty for your peace of mind. One of our skilled polishing technicians has removed marks on the case and bracelet of this watch, brought about by daily wear and tear, which is why this watch does not come with the remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
