Details & Specifications
Description:
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116518LN, often nicknamed the modern "Paul Newman" for its vintage-inspired dial, is a masterful fusion of heritage and contemporary craftsmanship. Crafted in 18 ct yellow gold, this striking chronograph is fitted with a sleek black Cerachrom bezel, engraved with a tachymetric scale that underscores its racing pedigree. What truly sets this model apart is its rich black lacquer finish with contrasting sub-dials, red accents, and art-deco-style numerals that pay homage to the legendary Paul Newman Daytona models of the 1960s.
Housed inside is the Rolex Calibre 4130, a new-generation movement offering high chronometric precision, shock resistance, and a 72-hour power reserve. Complemented by a comfortable black Oysterflex bracelet with a yellow gold folding clasp, the 116518LN strikes a bold balance between luxury and sportiness. It’s not just a timepiece—it’s a tribute to racing history, reimagined for the modern collector.
This piece presents in mint condition with full box and papers from 2023.
