Reference 116509 represents the previous-generation full white gold Daytona, elevated at Baselworld 2021 by the introduction of the meteorite dial as part of a trio of \"meteorite panda\" configurations that also included yellow gold and Everose executions. 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 The reference has since been superseded by the current-generation 126509, adding collectibility to this specific execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40mm case in 18-karat white gold features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, white gold applied index markers with Chromalight luminescence, and matching white 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 white gold Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding safety clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39330279882829,"sku":"P0600S","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7141\/5373\/files\/rolex-daytona-white-gold-meteorite-black-dial-116509-rolex-40268626166004.png?v=1706699694","url":"https:\/\/wristaficionado.com\/products\/rolex-daytona-116509-white-gold-meteorite-dial-2023","provider":"Wrist Aficionado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
