18 ct white gold · blue dial · Oyster bracelet · 40 mm
The previous-generation white gold Daytona, metal bezel, blue dial, on the gold Oyster bracelet. A quieter watch than the ceramic ones that replaced it.
The 116509 is the white gold Daytona of the generation that ran until 2023, on calibre 4130, with the tachymetric scale engraved into a solid gold bezel rather than moulded into Cerachrom. The engraved bezel is the detail people come back for: it catches light in a way the ceramic does not, and it dates the watch instantly to anyone who knows.
Rolex listed it across an unusually wide set of dials — blue, silver, black, meteorite, and several with diamond markers. The blue is the one that reads as a dress chronograph rather than a sports watch, which is why it tends to be the one people describe when they say they want a gold Daytona they can wear with a suit.
It is a discontinued reference, so this is a watch found on the secondary market rather than ordered. That is not a disadvantage: it means dial, condition and set are all on the table as things you can specify, instead of taking whatever the list produces.
| 116509 | 126509 | |
|---|---|---|
| In production | Until 2023 | 2023 to present |
| Calibre | 4130 | 4131 |
| Escapement | Swiss lever | Chronergy |
| Where it is found | Secondary market only | Retail list or secondary market |
Both are white gold on the bracelet with an engraved gold bezel. The 116509 is where the long list of dials lives, and on a discontinued watch dial, condition and set are all yours to specify.
| 116509 | 126519LN | |
|---|---|---|
| Bezel | White gold, engraved scale | Black Cerachrom |
| Worn on | White gold Oyster bracelet | Oysterflex strap |
| Calibre | 4130 | 4131 |
| Character | A dress chronograph | A dark sports watch |
The same metal taken two ways. Choose the 116509 to wear with a suit, the 126519LN to wear with anything and be noticed by no one.
See the 126519LNEach page is a guide to the reference and how we source it, not a listing. If yours is not here, ask anyway.

The dial above all: blue, silver, black, meteorite or a diamond-set one. Say whether the year matters and whether you want a full set.
Confirmed for each request from our network. A discontinued gold reference can take longer than a current one, and we say so at the start.
Box, warranty card, booklets, tags, spare links and any service records are itemised for the individual watch we propose.
Originality matters more on a discontinued reference: we set out whether the dial, hands and bezel are original, any refinishing, and the service history.
Send the reference by WhatsApp or the form, with the dial, set and timing that matter to you. A collection or a style is enough to begin.
We go to our network rather than a boutique list, and come back with what is realistic on availability and timing before you commit to anything.
Condition, documents and what accompanies the watch are set out in writing for the individual piece we propose. You decide with the details in front of you.
Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Collection in London or fully insured delivery, agreed for the watch and the destination.
Any brand, any reference, whether or not it appears on this site. Tell us what you have in mind and we take it from there.
No. It belongs to the generation Rolex replaced in 2023. Examples change hands on the secondary market, which is where we source them.
The 116509's tachymetric scale is engraved into solid gold and filled; the current references mould it into a ceramic bezel. The gold bezel can be polished and shows wear; the ceramic one cannot be polished but does not fade.
That is part of what we set out in writing for the individual watch. On a discontinued reference we report dial, hands and bezel originality, any refinishing, and whether the watch has been serviced with replacement parts.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto; Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer.
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
