This 2022 Rolex Daytona 116508 Black Diamond Dial is a 40 mm Cosmograph Daytona in 18ct yellow gold, fitted with a factory-original Rolex black diamond-set dial and matching yellow-gold Oyster bracelet. This exact watch is offered in Pristine Condition with its original Rolex box, papers and manual/booklet.
The black dial uses factory Rolex diamond hour markers and contrasts with the fixed yellow-gold tachymetric bezel. Together with the full 18ct yellow-gold Oyster bracelet, it creates one of the most distinctive precious-metal configurations of reference 116508.
Inside is the Rolex calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement with an approximately 72-hour power reserve.

The defining feature of this Daytona 116508 is its factory-original Rolex black diamond-set dial. The dark dial contrasts strongly with the 18ct yellow-gold case and bracelet, while the diamond hour markers add a more jewellery-led character without changing the Daytona's chronograph layout.
For a deeper reference overview, read our Rolex Daytona 116508 buying guide, covering the black diamond dial, calibre 4130, yellow-gold case and bracelet, authenticity checks and what to look for when buying pre-owned.
The Rolex Daytona 116508 is powered by the Rolex calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement with an approximately 72-hour power reserve.
Its chronograph layout includes central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour chronograph counter, together with a separate small-seconds display. The watch does not have a date or day/date display.
The fixed bezel carries a tachymetric scale, while the sapphire crystal and screw-down Oyster architecture support a water-resistance rating of 100 metres / 330 feet.
Reference 116508 uses a 40 mm Oyster case in 18ct yellow gold with a matching yellow-gold Oyster bracelet. The three-link bracelet and Oysterlock-style folding clasp maintain the familiar Daytona profile while giving the watch the weight and presence of a full precious-metal construction.
