Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Two-Tone Black Dial - 116503

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116503 is the two-tone execution of Rolex’s iconic chronograph, combining Oystersteel with 18K yellow gold in a configuration that balances sport and luxury. The 40 mm Oyster case is paired with a solid yellow gold tachymeter bezel featuring engraved scale markings, distinguishing this reference from the ceramic-bezel Daytona models. The black dial is accented by contrasting gold subdials and the signature red “DAYTONA” text above the chronograph complication, a detail closely associated with the model’s racing heritage.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 4130, an in-house automatic chronograph movement known for its efficiency, reliability, and vertical clutch architecture. The Oyster bracelet continues the two-tone construction and is secured by a folding Oysterlock clasp, providing a solid and comfortable fit. This example dates to 2021 and represents a classic modern Daytona configuration with strong visual contrast and enduring collector appeal.

Condition Notes: This Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116503 is in very good pre-owned condition. Cosmetic scratching is visible on the yellow gold bezel, along with a slight ding. Very light scratching is present on the yellow gold buckle on the bracelet. Overall condition remains very good and cosmetic in nature. Box and papers included, dated 2021.
