Rolex, Daytona, 116500LN, White Dial, Panda, Chronograph, Stainless Steel, Oyster Bracelet, 40mm

Few modern Rolex watches have reached the level of recognition achieved by the ‘Panda’ Daytona.

The Rolex Daytona 116500LN-0001 is built around contrast, precision, and a design language that feels both vintage-inspired and distinctly modern.

The white dial is what gives this reference its identity.

Clean and bright, it is paired with contrasting black subdials that create the unmistakable ‘Panda’ look collectors are drawn to.

This layout is not just aesthetic, it enhances legibility, allowing elapsed time to be read quickly and clearly.

A black Cerachrom ceramic bezel surrounds the dial, engraved with a tachymeter scale.

Highly resistant to scratches and fading, this bezel adds durability while reinforcing the watch’s connection to motorsport timing, where measuring speed is essential.

The 40mm case is crafted from stainless steel, offering a balanced feel that is both robust and wearable.

Its Oyster construction, combined with screw-down pushers and crown, creates a sealed structure designed for reliability in everyday conditions, including water resistance up to 100 metres.

Inside, the calibre 4130 automatic movement powers the chronograph.

Developed specifically for the Daytona, it features a column wheel and vertical clutch system, ensuring smooth activation and precise timing.

With a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, it is engineered for consistent performance over extended use.

The Oyster bracelet completes the watch with its three-piece solid link construction.

Built for durability and comfort, it is secured with an Oysterlock clasp and includes an Easylink extension system for quick wrist adjustments.

The Rolex Daytona 116500LN-0001 is more than just a stainless steel chronograph.

It represents one of the most sought-after modern Rolex designs, combining heritage-inspired aesthetics with contemporary materials and engineering, making it a benchmark within the Daytona collection.
