This 2016 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116509 combines a 40 mm Oyster case and Oyster bracelet in 18ct white gold with a distinctive factory-original Rolex Tahitian / dark mother-of-pearl dial.
The naturally iridescent mother-of-pearl surface changes character as light moves across the dial, while the fixed white-gold tachymetric bezel and full white-gold Oyster bracelet give this Daytona a discreet precious-metal appearance.
Inside is the Rolex calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement with an approximately 72-hour power reserve.

The defining visual feature of this Daytona 116509 is its factory-original Rolex Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial. Natural mother-of-pearl is light-responsive and irregular by nature, so the dial can display different charcoal, grey, green, purple, bronze and other iridescent tones depending on the viewing angle and lighting.
Because each mother-of-pearl surface varies naturally, photographs cannot always reproduce the full range of colours visible in person. Clients considering the watch remotely are welcome to request additional close-up photographs or video before purchasing.
The Rolex Daytona 116509 is powered by the Rolex calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement offering an approximately 72-hour power reserve.
Its chronograph layout incorporates central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter, together with a separate small-seconds display. The watch does not use a date or day/date display.
The fixed bezel carries a tachymetric scale for calculating average speed over a known distance, while the sapphire crystal and screw-down Oyster architecture support a water-resistance rating of 100 metres / 330 feet.
Reference 116509 uses a 40 mm Oyster case in 18ct white gold. The matching Oyster bracelet continues the precious-metal construction while retaining the familiar three-link Daytona profile.
Unlike a conventional steel Daytona, the white-gold case and bracelet give this reference a more understated precious-metal appearance while preserving the proportions and chronograph architecture associated with the Cosmograph Daytona.
