A blue dial on a full yellow gold Daytona is among the more distinctive configurations in the Cosmograph lineage. While most gold Daytonas pair with champagne, white, or black dials, the 116528 in blue offers a cooler contrast against the warm yellow gold case and bracelet. The effect is arresting — the deep blue ground serves as a backdrop for the chronograph subdials and tachymeter scale, creating a piece that stands apart from the more commonly seen replica rolex daytona 116528 variants in the collection.

The 116528 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The blue dial provides a striking canvas for the three chronograph registers: running seconds at six o’clock, 30-minute counter at three, and 12-hour totaliser at nine. Each subdial carries a recessed finish that adds depth to the face. The yellow gold tachymeter bezel is engraved rather than fitted with a ceramic insert, giving this reference a warmer, more traditional appearance than modern Daytona models.
The full yellow gold Oyster bracelet matches the case from lug to clasp, delivering the unmistakable heft and presence of a precious-metal sports watch. Screw-down chronograph pushers at two and four o’clock maintain water resistance during use. Explore all chronograph options in the Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese

- Japanese automatic chronograph — Miyota-based movement with reliable chronograph operation and accessible servicing worldwide. A strong entry point with dependable performance.
Both options provide fully functional start, stop, and reset chronograph operation.
