Rolex Cosmograph Daytona White Gold Oysterflex 116519LN

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

While first launched in 2000 as the third generation of the infamously iconic Rolex Daytona, the ref. 116519 has sported several variants among its ranks. While these watches are often beautiful and historically important, the watch we have here is an exceedingly modern variant; the ref. 116519LN. Launched in 2017 and constructed of 18kt white gold and sitting on Rolex's Oysterflex rubberized bracelet, so-called due to its metal core, with a black Cerachrom bezel, the ref. 116519LN is a monochromatic masterpiece. With its white gold construction and silver dial pairing together beautifully and its black ceramic bezel and strap completing the monochromatic aesthetic, the ref. 116519LN is refreshingly contemporary as it pairs a luxury construction with materials that aren't immediately associated with luxury, like its rubber-appearing bracelet. Known for their over-engineering, the ref. 116519LN's Oysterflex strap combines fins on its underside that allow for airflow and a secure fit with a metal blade core to ensure that the Oysterflex is not like any other rubber strap on the market, indeed - it is technically a bracelet and fit for the beautiful and iconic watch that it will hold onto your wrist.
