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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference: 116508\u003cbr\u003eDate: 2019\u003cbr\u003eSize: 40 mm\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with sale: Full Set - WT\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Smiling Second ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48356293378273,"sku":null,"price":67500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/1939\/7345\/files\/1_b93a558e-5048-4372-ac92-bd0a4c312770.jpg?v=1778472289","url":"https:\/\/thesmilingsecond.com.au\/products\/rolex-daytona-yellow-gold-paul-newman-dial-ref-116508-2019","provider":"The Smiling Second ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
