Choosing a pre-owned Rolex Daytona

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is the chronograph every other sports chronograph is measured against. Introduced in 1963 and named after the racing at Daytona Beach, it measures elapsed time with its chronograph and average speed with its tachymeter bezel, and decades of motor-racing history have made it one of the most coveted watches in the world.

Every Daytona we sell is authenticated, serviced and pressure tested in our Birmingham atelier and comes with our 3-year warranty. You can also see the Daytonas we’ve sold before on this page, a useful guide to the references, condition and prices to expect.

Daytona generations

Early Daytonas used manually wound movements. In 1988 the 16520 introduced the first self-winding Daytona, with a calibre based on the Zenith El Primero, and in 2000 the 116520 brought Rolex’s own calibre 4130. The steel 116500LN added a Cerachrom ceramic bezel in 2016, and the 126500LN followed in 2023 with the calibre 4131.

Steel, two-tone and gold

Steel Daytonas with black or white dials are the most sought after, while two-tone 116503 and 116523 models pair steel with yellow gold for a richer look. Solid gold Daytonas, including the 116519 and 116518 on leather straps, are the most luxurious.

Daytona questions

What does the tachymeter bezel do?

Start the chronograph at a marker and stop it a kilometre or mile later, and the scale on the bezel shows your average speed, up to 400 units per hour.

What’s the difference between a 116520 and a 116500LN?

Both use the calibre 4130. The 116500LN replaced the steel bezel of the 116520 with a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel and updated the dial.

Is the Daytona waterproof?

Rolex rates the modern Daytona to 100 metres, with screw-down chronograph pushers. Don’t operate the pushers underwater.
