Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "John Mayer"
- Model no.: 116508
- Item no.: Z100049
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with the reference number 116508 impresses with its radiant green dial. In addition, there is the case with a diameter of 40mm and the Oyster strap made of 18 carat yellow gold. The watch is a chronograph. As a chronometer, the watch runs very accurately at all times. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has the caliber 4130 installed in it.
This watch is nicknamed John Mayer, as the musician has commented on how great he thinks this watch is.
It is equipped with a tachymeter scale that can measure an average speed of 400 miles or kilometers per hour. The black bezel is reminiscent of the black Plexiglas dial on the 1965 model and combines cutting-edge technology with an appealing aesthetic. The monobloc Cerachrom tachymeter bezel made of high-tech ceramic has many advantages. Thanks to its high hardness, it is not only scratch-resistant, but also resistant to UV radiation and color corrosion. The numbers on the tachymeter scale are not only extremely durable, but also easy to read. The graduation is first cast in ceramic and then coated with a thin layer of platinum using a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process. The integrated ceramic case of the tachymeter is waterproof and fits snugly against the watch glass.
Rolex is the only company capable of producing 18-carat gold bars in its own foundry using the best gold available. Depending on the percentage of silver, copper, platinum and palladium, different types of 18-karat gold can be produced. Rolex uses only the finest metals, which are thoroughly tested in the company's laboratories using state-of-the-art equipment and strict quality standards before being turned into gold. Rolex's commitment to excellence has been present from the beginning.
