Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116528 – 18 K Yellow Gold, Black Dial AAA
£400.00
Stand-Out Features
Solid-Gold Presence – Entire watch, including bezel, pushers and bracelet, is crafted from Rolex’s own 18 K yellow gold alloy.
In-House Chronograph – Calibre 4130 offers column-wheel switching and vertical clutch for smoother push-action, plus COSC + Rolex Superlative Chronometer regulation (-2/+2 s per day).
Collectability – Last full-gold Daytona generation before the modern ceramic-bezel era; demand remains strong among UK collectors seeking precious-metal sports pieces.
Versatility – Although a statement watch, its 40 mm case and classic proportions sit well under a cuff, making it viable as both dress and sport chronograph.
