Rolex Daytona 116518 “Paul Newman” — 2021
18ct Yellow Gold | Exotic Dial | 40mm | Oysterflex Bracelet | Excellent Condition | Full Set
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116518 represents the combination of Rolex’s iconic racing chronograph with the warmth and presence of 18ct yellow gold. This 2021 example is presented in excellent condition and comes as a full set.
Known among collectors by the “Paul Newman” nickname, this configuration features an exotic-style Daytona dial with contrasting sub-dials and hour markers, creating the distinctive appearance associated with some of the most recognisable vintage Daytona designs.
The 40mm case is crafted from 18ct yellow gold and is fitted with a matching yellow-gold tachymetric bezel. The watch is paired with Rolex’s Oysterflex bracelet, combining the appearance of a high-end sports watch with the comfort and flexibility of an elastomer bracelet reinforced with metal blades.
The Daytona is powered by Rolex calibre 4130, an automatic mechanical chronograph movement developed specifically for the Cosmograph Daytona. It offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and provides the central chronograph seconds hand, 30-minute counter and 12-hour counter.
The dial layout provides clear indication of the chronograph functions while maintaining the balanced proportions characteristic of the Daytona collection. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the screw-down chronograph pushers and winding crown contribute to the watch’s 100-metre water resistance.
This 2021 Rolex Daytona reference 116518 is in excellent condition and is supplied as a full set, including its original box and papers.
