Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Series M116518ln-0048 40mm

Champagne with black counters

Reference 116518LN-0048 combines a champagne dial with black counters, the gold-cased reverse of the panda layout. On the hand-held photos the champagne looks pale gold and the black counters, ceramic bezel and rubber strap tie the dial to the rest of the watch.

Comparing the 116518LN dials

If you like this colour but want a softer face, the 116518LN-0042 keeps the counters champagne. The white 116518LN-0041 is the light-dial option in the same case, and the newer 126518LN-0012 has a golden dial with black counters. All three are 40 mm, yellow gold-plated 904L steel, sapphire crystal, and a 30 m limit that covers rain but not the pool.

Movement and fit

The chronograph runs with either movement: Japanese Miyota-based at 21,600 vph or Swiss built to follow the 4130 at 28,800 vph. A rubber strap is easier to wear in summer than a gold-plated bracelet. Our BTF vs Clean Daytona article explains how Daytona builds are judged. More references are in the Daytona section of the shop.

Does it come on a bracelet or a strap?

A black rubber strap with a yellow gold-plated folding clasp, as on the photos.
