Rolex Daytona 116518 Mother of Pearl & Diamonds; 18ct. Yellow Gold Watch

Description

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Mother of Pearl & Diamonds’ 18k Yellow Gold with Ref. M116518-0079. Some Rolex Daytonas are beloved. Others are truly exceptional. This Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in 18 karat yellow gold is undoubtedly among the most exclusive versions ever produced by Rolex. The combination of a rare Mother of Pearl dial, diamond hour markers, and the now 'discontinued' version makes this watch a special collector's item in a complete full-set from 2010.

This example, reference number 116518 (full M116518-0079), exudes pure luxury. The natural mother of pearl dial has a unique luster with no two pieces being the same. Depending on the light, the color subtly changes, while the diamond hour markers add a refined and exclusive appearance. This specific dial is no longer available from Rolex, making complete and fully original pieces increasingly rare.

An especially appealing detail is that the watch has remained completely unpolished. This has preserved the original case shapes, sharp facets, and authentic finishes beautifully, something that is increasingly appreciated. Thus, we do see some light signs of wear, but rest assured the condition is very good.

Inside is the legendary Rolex Calibre 4130 automatic manufacture movement. This fully in-house developed chronograph movement is renowned worldwide for its reliability, efficiency, and exceptional precision. Thanks to its thoughtful construction, the Calibre 4130 is known as one of the best automatic chronograph movements ever made.

The movement has been thoroughly tested, runs excellently, and keeps time very accurately.

This Daytona is a perfect combination of sportiness and luxury. The classic Daytona has long been one of the most sought-after Rolex models. The rare mother of pearl dial with diamonds elevates this version to an even more exclusive level.

Since this model is made for leather/rubber straps, and each strap gives a completely different feel/look, several beautiful strap options come with it: The original Rolex croco leather strap for a classic/chic appearance, a white leather strap for a sportier/summer look, and a high-quality brown rubber strap for a universal and very comfortable wearing experience. The leather and rubber straps are compatible with the included 18ct. Rolex folding clasp. All straps fit wrists of up to approximately 20cm.

The 2010 watch is delivered as a complete full-set/collector's set with lovely extras, additional straps, accessories, Rolex register printout ('born-dial'), and our warranty report with 1 year warranty. Of course, it has been fully checked and is ready to wear or to be added to a high-end collection.

As always, this is a unique pre-owned piece. Only one available.
