Heritage Narrative The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116568BR represents one of the most elaborate executions of Rolex’s iconic chronograph, combining the technical heritage of the Daytona with factory gem-setting and precious materials. Crafted entirely in 18kt yellow gold, this reference stands apart through its factory-set baguette diamond bezel and natural mother-of-pearl dial. This example was originally produced in 2008 and features a luminous mother-of-pearl dial with applied Roman numeral hour markers, offering a refined contrast to the brilliance of the baguette-cut diamond bezel. The gemstones are factory selected and set by Rolex, maintaining strict standards of symmetry, clarity, and durability. Powering the watch is Rolex’s calibre 4130, a self-winding Perpetual mechanical chronograph movement developed entirely in-house. Known for its robustness, efficiency, and precision, the 4130 remains one of the most respected automatic chronograph movements in modern watchmaking. The 40 mm Oyster case and matching yellow gold Oyster bracelet deliver both presence and wearability, while screw-down pushers and crown ensure full professional-grade water resistance. This watch has undergone a revision in 2026 and is presented in pre-owned condition as a full set. Combining gem-set craftsmanship with proven mechanical performance, the Daytona 116568BR occupies a distinctive position within the Daytona lineage as a factory-configured luxury chronograph.
