Reference 116508 represents the previous-generation full yellow gold Daytona, but this particular execution was introduced at Baselworld 2021 as part of a trio of \"meteorite panda\" configurations that elevated the model into rarefied territory. The dial is sliced from the Gibeon meteorite — discovered near the Namibian town in 1836 — whose distinctive Widmanstätten crystalline pattern formed over millions of years in space, ensuring every example remains genuinely one of a kind. The reference has since been superseded by the current-generation 126508, adding collectibility to this specific execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40mm case in 18-karat yellow gold features a fixed engraved tachymeter bezel and Triplock screw-down crown with matching chronograph pushers. The meteorite dial carries three contrasting black subdials in a reverse-panda configuration, red \"Daytona\" text above six o'clock echoing vintage examples, yellow gold applied index markers with Chromalight luminescence, and yellow gold hands. The in-house automatic Caliber 4130 — a self-winding chronograph with column wheel and vertical clutch — delivers a 72-hour power reserve, completed by an 18-karat yellow gold Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding safety clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44516283842804,"sku":"P4268S","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7141\/5373\/files\/rolex-daytona-116508-yellow-gold-meteorite-dial-2023-rolex-40700532752628.webp?v=1706653790","url":"https:\/\/wristaficionado.com\/products\/rolex-daytona-116508-yellow-gold-meteorite-dial-2022","provider":"Wrist Aficionado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
