Rolex has an in-house foundry to assure the optimal combination of components to manufacture the finest gold possible. The three-link Oyster bracelet, which is noticeably heavier than the stainless steel equivalent, adds to the watch&#8217;s sporty style.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Moreover, this watch runs on a COSC-certified mechanism developed by the Swiss brand \u2013 the Caliber 4130. This movement is part of Rolex&#8217;s first generation and offers various advantages, including fewer components for enhanced reliability, a Parachrom hairspring for increased resistance to external elements, and a 72-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\">\n<table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\">\n<table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\"><a class=\"\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/search\/?q=116509\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/0eb1ce6582\/images\/24e4972e-0205-03d3-c561-2cf24ae89601.png\" alt=\"Rolex\u00a0Daytona 18K White Gold Black Dial\u00a0116509 \/\u00a0 Rolex Daytona White Gold Silver Racing Dial Mens Watch 116509\" width=\"NaN\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><span class=\"il\">Rolex Daytona 18K White Gold Black Dial 116509 \/<br \/>\nRolex Daytona White Gold Silver Racing Dial Mens Watch 116509<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"m_-8320406419394417994mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"mcnTextBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextContent\" valign=\"top\">\n<h2><span style=\"color: #006699;\"><strong>The Rolex Daytona ref. 116509 Racing Dial<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Daytona ref. 116509 &#8220;Racing Dial&#8221; combines the subtle beauty of white gold with wonderfully mischievous accents.
