Model Reference
The Rolex Daytona Ref. 116519 was manufactured as a part of the modern precious metal collection of Daytona watches and is currently one of the current references of the line. In this way, the reference further developed the concept of the white gold Daytona through using innovative case and bezel technologies while sticking to the well proven design of the chronograph mechanism that had been characteristic of the Cosmograph Daytona throughout its history. Instead of offering an entirely new platform, Rolex improved the existing solution with the help of material innovations.
Rolex 116519 utilises an 18ct white gold Oyster case with a diameter of 40mm. White gold provides all of the qualities of Rolex’s precious metal watches and a more discreet look when compared to either yellow or Everose gold. The case features all the characteristic dimensions of the Daytona and the same screw down chronograph pushers and Triplock winding crown which ensure its water resistance at 100 meters (330 feet).
An alternative black Cerachrom bezel surrounds the dial instead of the traditional metal bezel used in previous models. Cerachrom is the name of Rolex’s proprietary ceramic material, highly scratch resistant and protected against corrosion and UV rays. The tachymeter scale is engraved into the bezel and filled using Rolex’s PVD process. It ensures high legibility and keeps its sharp appearance.
The reference features a slate dial with three chronograph registers for elapsed seconds, 30 minute timer and 12 hour timer. Hour markers are applied on the dial and filled with Chromalight luminescent material.
Power comes from the Calibre 4130, an automatic chronograph movement from Rolex designed to fit the Cosmograph Daytona. The movement features a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism, ensuring accuracy in the operation of the chronograph and minimizing mechanical stress. The movement ticks at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and has an approximate power reserve of 72 hours.
The watch wears a rubber bracelet that adds comfort and flexibility to the reference and matches the sporty feel of the Daytona. This together with the precious metal case gives this reference a modern specification different from its predecessors with white gold Daytona cases.
Rolex 116519 comes from the new generation of Daytona references which were created using the new material technology of Rolex. Although the earlier white gold Daytonas shared many technical features with the newer ones, this particular reference brings a new specification which relies upon enhanced durability through the Cerachrom bezel, as well as the more modern look because of the rubber bracelet.
While the other Rolex Daytona references made of stainless steel have their own specifications, this reference is all about precious metals but without changing the technical aspects of the watch. The use of an 18ct white gold case along with Calibre 4130 movement and ceramic bezel provides the reference with unique specification for the Rolex Daytona series and at the same time maintains its heritage.
Rolex made 116519 with a few different dial options to be able to give buyers different color options while preserving the same movement, case and chronograph functions of the reference.
