The Cosmograph Daytona 116523 in Rolesor — Rolex’s term for the marriage of Oystersteel and yellow gold — delivers the presence of a gold Daytona at a significantly lower weight and entry point. The champagne gold dial creates tonal continuity with the yellow gold bezel and centre bracelet links, while polished steel outer links and case flanks add visual contrast and structural resilience.

The 116523 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The champagne gold dial radiates warm yellow tones that echo the gold bezel and crown. Three slightly recessed subdials maintain the signature Daytona layout with applied gold markers at every hour position. The yellow gold tachymeter bezel provides elapsed-time calculation capability through its graduated scale.
The two-tone Oyster bracelet alternates polished steel outer links with brushed yellow gold centre links, culminating in an Oysterclasp with Easylink extension. The Rolesor approach reduces overall weight compared to a full gold Daytona while retaining the warm visual impact. Browse more two-tone options in the Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Select between two automatic chronograph calibres, each powering the full three-register layout through column-wheel switching:
- Swiss — 4130-type calibre at 28,800 vph with approximately 72-hour power reserve. Top-tier finishing and regulation for the collector-focused buyer.
- Japanese — Miyota-based automatic chronograph running at 21,600 vph with around 40-hour reserve. Practical and economical maintenance with global parts access.
