Rolex 116500LN Daytona Ceramic SS Black Dial

The Rolex 116500LN Daytona Ceramic Stainless Steel Black Dial, introduced in 2016, marks a significant chapter in the professional chronograph’s lineage. Revered among collectors, the 116500LN was the first Daytona to integrate a Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a full stainless steel case, dramatically enhancing scratch resistance and preserving the tachymeter scale's sharp aesthetic. Its black dial, highlighted by contrasting white subdials, recalls the classic Cosmograph look prized by vintage enthusiasts while propelling the reference decisively into the modern era. Inside beats the in-house calibre 4130, a movement lauded for its column wheel construction, vertical clutch engagement, and impressive 72-hour power reserve. The 116500LN’s balanced proportions—alongside screw-down pushers and Triplock crown—ensure robust performance even under demanding conditions, accentuated by the 100-meter depth rating. As part of the enduring Daytona product line, this reference continues to set benchmarks in both aesthetics and chronometric reliability. With its coveted ‘Panda’ nickname and waiting list status, it stands as a future icon, seamlessly blending Rolex’s racing heritage with cutting-edge material innovation.
