Rolex Daytona "Pikachu" 116518LN
Code: 600069Product detailed description
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona — Ref. 116518LN “Pikachu”
A burst of energy within the legend. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116518LN, affectionately nicknamed “Pikachu” by collectors, stands out as one of the most distinctive expressions of the modern Daytona. Its radiant yellow dial paired with the black Cerachrom bezel and matching Oysterflex bracelet creates a striking, instantly recognizable contrast — vibrant yet impeccably balanced.
Why choose this model?
An icon reimagined.
Introduced in 1963, the Daytona became synonymous with precision and speed. The 116518LN continues that legacy, but its yellow dial injects a contemporary, unconventional spirit — a nod to individuality within the world’s most revered chronograph line.
Exquisite craftsmanship.
Crafted in 18 ct yellow gold, the watch features a monobloc Cerachrom bezel with engraved tachymetric scale, combining technical innovation with aesthetic depth. The yellow dial — a rare configuration — makes it one of the most eye-catching modern Daytona variants.
Performance at its core.
Powered by the calibre 4131, Rolex’s in-house self-winding chronograph movement, it offers precise timekeeping, 72-hour power reserve, and superior shock resistance — engineered for endurance and refinement alike.
Collector’s relevance.
Nicknamed “Pikachu” for its vivid palette, this reference has achieved cult status among collectors. Its rarity, playful energy, and contrast of gold and yellow tones make it a standout piece in both aesthetic and investment terms — a watch that commands attention without a word.
