Description: Rolex Daytona 116519
The Rolex Daytona reference 116519 (2000-2001) marks a significant moment in the history of the Daytona collection, being the first white gold model to feature Rolex’s in-house movement, the Caliber 4130. Released in the early 2000s, this movement marked a new era for Rolex, as they moved away from using outsourced chronograph movements, choosing instead to develop and produce the entire movement themselves.

The 116519’s white gold case gives the watch a refined yet understated look, particularly compared to the more attention-grabbing all-gold models. It also stands out with its beautiful Mother of Pearl dial, adorned with Arabic hour markers and sleek, non-luminous hands, adding to its classic aesthetic.

Another unique feature of this model is its leather strap, as Rolex no longer offers Daytona models on leather straps. This makes the 116519 a highly sought-after piece among collectors, especially since it is discontinued. Its blend of technical innovation, luxurious materials, and rarity makes this pre-owned Rolex Daytona an exceptional addition to any collection.
