Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Series M116518ln-0048 40mm

The Daytona reference 116518LN on Oysterflex represents a modern evolution of the gold Cosmograph. By pairing an 18k yellow gold case with a black rubber strap instead of a metal bracelet, Rolex created a watch that wears lighter and sportier than any traditional precious-metal Daytona while retaining the visual impact of full gold. The gold dial and black Cerachrom bezel create a contrast-rich combination that reads as both luxurious and contemporary.

Key Specifications

The 116518LN Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet

The yellow gold case gleams against the matte black Cerachrom bezel, creating the kind of high-contrast pairing that makes this Daytona stand out in any setting. The gold-tone dial carries three recessed subdials for elapsed-time tracking, their warm colour matching the case and creating a cohesive precious-metal aesthetic from bezel to centre. Applied hour markers and hands carry luminescent fill for nighttime reading.

The Oysterflex bracelet integrates a flexible metal blade inside black elastomer, delivering the comfort of rubber with the security of a metal bracelet. The Oysterlock clasp with Glidelock extension allows on-the-fly micro-adjustment. Browse all Oysterflex-equipped models in the Daytona collection.
