Replica Rolex Daytona “Reverse Panda” Black Dial 116500LN

When Rolex introduced the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona 116500LN in 2016, it created one of the most sought-after steel sports watches in production. The Reverse Panda variant — black dial with white subdials — quickly became the reference point for the entire model line. Waitlists stretched for years at authorised dealers. The combination of black ceramic bezel, black dial, and bright white registers delivers a graphic, high-contrast face that photographs as well as it wears.

Key Specifications

The 116500LN Reverse Panda Dial Up Close

The black dial provides the dark canvas that makes the three white subdials pop: running seconds at six o’clock, 30-minute counter at three, and 12-hour totaliser at nine. Each register is slightly recessed, creating depth visible under angled light. Applied luminescent stick markers and a red-tipped central chronograph seconds hand add functional accents to the monochrome scheme.

The Cerachrom ceramic bezel is virtually scratch-proof and maintains its deep black finish indefinitely — a significant upgrade over the painted-steel bezels of earlier Daytona generations. The Oyster bracelet with Easylink provides 5mm of on-the-fly extension. Discover all ceramic-bezel Daytona variants in the Daytona collection.

Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese

Choose between two chronograph movement tiers for this reference:

• Swiss automatic chronograph — smooth high-beat operation, extended power reserve, and architecture modelled on the caliber 4130. The preferred option for collectors who value the closest mechanical match to the genuine piece.
• Japanese automatic chronograph — Miyota-based caliber offering dependable daily accuracy and straightforward servicing at watchmakers worldwide. A reliable option for everyday wear.

Both movements power all three chronograph subdials with start, stop, and instant-reset capability.
