Onze mening

Offered here is a stunning example of the Rolex Daytona ‘JOHN MAYER’ reference 116508-18k yellow. Manufactured in 2017.
The 116508 remains one of the most popular and desirable yellow gold Daytona’s. Known by enthusiasts as the "Mayer Dial" following the musicians’ appearance on ‘Hodinkee's Talking Watches, we consider this reference as a future icon in watch collecting.

Technical Details And Description.

The Daytona chronograph has been one of Rolex’s most consistently popular models since its introduction in 1963. Since then, the model has evolved, with the current iteration of the model available in steel, pink, white, and yellow gold, as well as bi-metal and platinum, and with metal or Cerachrom bezels and any number of a dial, strap, and bracelet combinations. Launched in 2016 at Basel world, the 18K yellow gold ref. 116508 retains many of the features that make the Daytona so iconic, including the fixed Tachymetric scale bezel, screw-down chronograph pushers and the sub-dials at 3, 6 & 9. However, it was the first Daytona to be supplied with a green dial with contrasting applied yellow gold hour markers. Whilst initially overshadowed by its black and white-dialled steel brothers with their Cerachrom bezels, the green 116508 has become one of the most in-demand and desirable offerings from Rolex, particularly after its appearance on the wrist of well-known collector and musician John Mayer.

The overall condition of this ‘Special Daytona’ is flawless and practically unworn, with some of its factory-applied stickers in place.
The bezel 18k yellow gold counting ring is in excellent condition, with no dings or marks along with the engraving of the black writing and numbers being very clear and sharp.
As you can appreciate this stunning ‘Special Mayer Daytona’ is accompanied by all its original Rolex accessories inclusive of inner and outer boxes, manuals, card holder wallet, hang tags and guarantee card.
