A true icon of prestigious watchmaking, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520 embodies the excellence and technical audacity for which the Geneva-based manufacturer is renowned. Since its creation, this chronograph has established itself as the absolute benchmark among luxury sports watches, captivating discerning collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional mechanics.

Design & know-how

The Daytona 116520 is distinguished by the refined elegance of its 40 mm Oystersteel case, whose polished and satin-finished surfaces reveal a strong personality. The black dial, subtly enhanced with applied hour markers and luminescent hands, offers optimal legibility in all circumstances, while the small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock adds a touch of dynamism to the design. The steel bezel, engraved with the tachymeter scale, underscores the model's sporting DNA and invites performance. The Oyster bracelet, also in steel, hugs the wrist with remarkable suppleness and fastens with a Rolex-signed folding clasp, ensuring both security and comfort. Protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, every facet of the design expresses the legendary craftsmanship of the brand, where innovation and tradition meet in perfect harmony.

Watchmaking performance

At the heart of this exceptional timepiece beats the Rolex Calibre 4130 automatic movement, developed and manufactured in-house to meet the most stringent requirements of precision and reliability. This chronograph movement incorporates a column wheel and a vertical clutch, ensuring smooth and flawless operation of the timing functions. Complications include hours, minutes, small seconds, and chronograph, while the tachymeter bezel allows for the precise measurement of speed over a given distance—a nod to the world of motorsports. Water resistance to 100 meters gives the Daytona remarkable versatility, from the racetrack to everyday life. The robustness and consistency of the Calibre 4130 make this model a reliable companion, ready to take on any challenge.
