Two-tone Daytonas occupy their own lane in the Cosmograph lineup. The 116523 pairs Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold across the case, bezel, and bracelet centre links, creating a watch that reads warmer and more luxurious than the all-steel models without committing to full precious metal. The white dial with gold-accented subdials ties the two metals together visually, producing a chronograph that works equally well with a suit or a weekend polo.

The 116523 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The interplay between steel and gold defines every angle of this Daytona. The bezel carries the tachymeter scale engraved into yellow gold, framing the white dial where three recessed subdials in a warm gold tone track small seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour elapsed time. The contrast between the white ground and gold registers provides excellent legibility during timing.
The Oyster bracelet alternates steel outer links with gold centre links, creating the signature Rolesor stripe that runs from lug to clasp. The result is a bracelet that feels substantial without the full weight of solid gold. See all two-tone chronographs in the Daytona collection.
