The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Panda” (Ref. 116500LN) is one of the most coveted modern Rolex chronographs, instantly recognizable for its white lacquer dial contrasted by black snail‑cut sub‑dial rings, giving it the iconic “Panda” appearance. This reference marked the first time Rolex paired a steel Daytona with a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, creating a perfect blend of vintage inspiration and modern durability.
The dial features Chromalight luminous index hour markers, black chronograph counters, and the signature red “DAYTONA” text above the 6 o’clock sub‑dial. The ceramic bezel includes an engraved tachymetric scale, offering exceptional scratch resistance and long‑lasting clarity.
Crafted from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), the 40mm case delivers a sporty yet refined wrist presence. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet, equipped with an Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink 5mm comfort extension link. The bracelet shown retains factory protective stickers marked “904L”, indicating pristine, unused condition.
Powered by the Rolex Calibre 4130, the Daytona offers a robust chronograph mechanism, vertical clutch, column wheel, and an impressive 72‑hour power reserve. With 100m water resistance, it remains a reliable everyday luxury sports watch.
The “Panda” Daytona is one of the most desirable steel Rolex models, celebrated for its aesthetics, performance, and strong collector demand.
