Introduced as part of Rolex’s reimagined white gold Daytona line, the reference 116519LN has become a modern icon since its debut. This particular configuration, featuring a genuine white mother-of-pearl dial punctuated by factory-set diamond hour markers, elevates the already prestigious Cosmograph to new heights of sophistication. The subdials retain classic Daytona symmetry, with polished rings and perfect legibility, while the contrast between the radiant dial and deep black bezel offers striking visual balance.

At its heart beats the Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement developed and manufactured entirely in-house. Celebrated for its robust architecture and exceptional precision, it is a hallmark of Rolex reliability and innovation.

The 116519LN is not just a watch—it’s an experience, tailored for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate subtle detail, lasting value, and the legacy of one of the most iconic chronographs ever made.

Condition Report

This Rolex Daytona 116519LN is in excellent pre-owned condition, carefully inspected and professionally authenticated by MonarcchsBay. It has been worn with discernment and shows light, honest wear expected of a premium sports chronograph maintained in a luxury collection environment.

• Case: The 18K white gold case exhibits minimal surface wear in the form of light hairline scratches, mostly limited to the polished flanks and lugs. These marks are consistent with occasional, careful use and are not visible at arm’s length. No deep dings, chips, or dents. All edges remain crisp, and case lines are sharp and unpolished.

• Bezel: The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel is in near-mint condition, with no chips, cracks, or wear to the engraved tachymeter scale. The platinum-filled numerals and markers remain bright and intact.

• Dial: The white mother-of-pearl dial is flawless, displaying rich iridescent tones under various lighting conditions. All factory-set diamond markers are securely in place. The hands, subdials, and printing are sharp and show no signs of degradation or oxidation.

• Crystal: The sapphire crystal is clear and scratch-free, with no marks or abrasions.

• Bracelet: The black Oysterflex strap is in excellent condition with no cracks, peeling, or splitting. Slight curving from wear is visible, typical for elastomer straps but does not affect function or comfort. The underside remains clean and intact. The 18K white gold clasp has light desk wear, mainly on the polished areas, and closes securely with no issues.

• Movement: Rolex Caliber 4130 is running well within COSC accuracy specifications. Chronograph functions reset precisely to zero, and pushers have smooth, crisp action. Service history is unknown, but timekeeping performance is consistent.

Collector’s Notes

The 116519LN is one of the most desirable white gold Daytona configurations thanks to its blend of sport, rarity, and opulence. The mother-of-pearl dial variant with factory diamond indices is especially coveted, as it is not produced in high volume and adds a layer of visual distinction without sacrificing functionality. With the discontinuation of select Daytona references, collectors anticipate strong long-term value retention—and this model is firmly within that conversation.
