Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm Stainless Steel Circa 2024 for Sale

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm Stainless Steel Circa 2024 is for sale as a one-off piece. The Daytona is the hardest Rolex to buy at retail. Waiting lists at authorised dealers run years, which is the entire reason the secondary market prices it where it does.

The case measures 40mm in stainless steel. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist.

Production dates to Circa 2024. The Oystersteel Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116500LN unveiled at Baselworld 2016 and produced until 2023, stands as a defining modern steel chronograph. It marked the first instance of Rolex uniting the classic Daytona case with a monobloc black Cerachrom bezel, a scratch resistant ceramic ring whose engraved tachymeter scale is PVD‑filled for enduring clarity. The black dial configuration, often dubbed the “Reverse Panda” presents a cohesive, stealth leaning motorsport aesthetic, its deep gloss dial contrasted by crisp white chronograph rings. Powered by the Calibre 4130, the reference is celebrated for its vertical clutch architecture, robust reliability, and balanced case proportions. Discontinuation in 2023 elevated the 116500LN from contemporary flagship to modern collectible, prized for its launch significance, restrained production span, and timeless execution. Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.

Buying this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN 40mm Stainless Steel Circa 2024

Above all, we hold one Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN 40mm Stainless Steel Circa 2024 rather than a restockable line. Therefore the watch in the gallery is the watch that ships to you. For example, we photograph the caseback and the clasp, not only the dial. Meanwhile, you can weigh it against Rolex GMT-Master II 40mm Yellow Gold Circa 2008, or against Rolex Datejust 28mm Rose Gold Stainless Steel 279381. Similarly, the rest of our Rolex watches and the wider watch collection move every week.

How we authenticate and grade it

We authenticate every watch in house before listing it, so the grade above is ours rather than a consignor’s summary. However, condition language shifts from seller to seller, so we describe wear in plain words as well. Because sunlight fades a dial faster than wear does, store it out of direct light. In addition, how we authenticate sets out the process.

Shipping and import charges

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile our Instagram shows what has just landed, and Facebook carries the same arrivals.
