Rolex Daytona 116500LN, "Panda", Stainless Steel, White Index Dial, Oyster Bracelet, 40 mm

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Panda is one of the most recognizable configurations of Rolexs legendary racing chronograph, combining a 40 mm Oystersteel case with a crisp white dial, contrasting black chronograph counters, and a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Its celebrated Panda nickname comes from the distinctive black-and-white dial configuration, which gives the watch a bold motorsport-inspired appearance while preserving the refined proportions and timeless character of the Cosmograph Daytona. The white dial features applied index hour markers with Chromalight luminescence and polished hands for excellent legibility, while three black-ringed counters display elapsed hours and minutes alongside running seconds. Surrounding the dial is a scratch-resistant black Cerachrom bezel with a molded tachymetric scale, allowing the wearer to measure average speeds over a known distance and reinforcing the Daytonas historic connection to professional motor racing. Screw-down chronograph pushers positioned alongside the winding crown maintain the watchs purposeful sports-watch architecture and provide precise control of the chronograph functions. Completing the design is Rolexs robust three-piece-link Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel, fitted with an Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink comfort extension system for a secure and adjustable fit. Powering the Daytona 116500LN is Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch for precise chronograph operation and approximately 72 hours of power reserve. With its 40 mm Oystersteel case, iconic white Panda dial, black Cerachrom tachymetric bezel, Oyster bracelet, and proven automatic chronograph movement, the Rolex Daytona 116500LN is an exceptional choice for collectors seeking one of the most distinctive and highly sought-after executions of the modern Cosmograph Daytona.
