Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Paul Newman Dial Ref: 116508 2019

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold “Paul Newman” Dial Ref: 116508 is a highly coveted modern interpretation of one of the most legendary dial designs in watch collecting, combining vintage inspiration with contemporary Rolex engineering. Introduced in 2016, this reference gained immediate attention for its exotic-style dial—featuring contrasting subdials, Art Deco numerals, and a layout reminiscent of the vintage “Paul Newman” Daytonas made famous by Paul Newman. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the 40 mm case is paired with a matching gold bracelet, reinforcing its luxurious presence while maintaining the Daytona’s sporting roots. The watch is powered by the in-house Calibre 4130, an automatic chronograph movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch, offering exceptional precision, reliability, and a 72-hour power reserve. Its primary complication is the chronograph, designed for measuring elapsed time via central seconds and 30-minute and 12-hour counters, staying true to the Daytona’s origins as a motorsport timing instrument since its debut in 1963. Within the Rolex lineup, the 116508 occupies a premium and highly collectible position, bridging vintage aesthetics with modern performance and standing as one of the most distinctive and sought-after contemporary Daytona references.
