Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN
The steel Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN, with its black Cerachrom bezel and choice of black or white "Panda" dial, is the single most coveted modern Rolex chronograph and one of the most liquid sports watches on the secondary market.
Read the product overview
The figure shown here is the original boutique list price, not a resale quote: because boutique allocation requires years on a waitlist, this reference is the textbook example of a watch that traded far above retail throughout its 2016-2023 run. A full set with box, card, and unworn condition sits at the top of the range, and authentication of the in-house Calibre 4130 is essential before any purchase.

How we assess prices
We use in-stock offers checked within 72 hours. Scores compare the current offer with that retailer’s observations from the last 90 days, requiring at least 14 observed days and a price from about 30 days ago. Suspect records withhold the score. Retailer conditions and prices can change.
