Daytona 16521 fake

Rolex Daytona 116500 is the successor model to the 116520 and is also the model currently on the market. The biggest change in the Daytona 116500 is the replacement of the bezel with ceramic. 116500 has been produced since 2016.

Rolex is very cautious about the use of new materials. In 2011, the 116515 with a rose gold case was a Daytona using a ceramic bezel. Later, in 2016, ceramic bezels were popularized on the steel-cased Daytona, which is the 116500. The black ceramic bezel of the Daytona 116500 easily recalls the black acrylic bezel of the early Daytona 6263 (including 6241). Starting with the 116500 generation, the price of the Daytona began to rise rapidly. Among these, the “panda” color scheme with a white dial and black sub-dials is the most popular.

In addition to the ceramic bezel, 116500 continues the 40 mm size and uses the Rolex 4130 automatic chronograph movement. 116500 is the current masterpiece of steel-cased Daytonas. As for what kind of new Daytona watch Rolex will release at the upcoming Geneva Watches and Wonders Fair, we will have to wait and see.
