Wide rose rings on white
The close-up photos show what makes this dial: each white counter sits inside a broad rose-tone ring with fine circular lines, so the counters look framed rather than painted. Rose batons with lume and rose hands with dark inlays complete it. A darker dial in the same case is the 116505 brown Arabic, and the 116505 chocolate with black counters sits between the two.

Is the 116505-0010 dial white or ivory?
Rolex lists this reference with an ivory dial. On our photos it reads white with a very slight warmth, and the QC photos of your own watch show the exact shade before it ships.
