Rolex Daytona

We all know the Daytona Story, and it has proven to be a big favorite among the collectors. Why? Rolex's brilliant motorsports chronograph is in pole position in any category, vintage or modern. And while current automatic versions admittedly don't generally do as much for us as a nice hand-cranking example, a Daytona is a Daytona, and that is ok with us. This particular example, a Reference 116503, features a two-tone 18K yellow gold and steel construction with a sapphire crystal, a deep glossy black dial with gold subsidiary register rings and factory applied diamond indices with matching handset, and Rolex's in-house Calibre 4130 automatic-winding chronograph movement. Topping off the package, this variant is fitted to one of Rolex's absolutely excellent solid Oyster bracelets with an Easylink extension built into the clasp - a feature that you didn't know you needed until you have it! While not for everyone, there is something about a two-tone Daytona that just works. Be it the versatility, or the relative value next to its full-gold and full-steel counterparts, two-tone just works with the Daytona. This one comes with a bit of added flair!
