Rolex Cosmograph Daytona – “John Mayer” (Ref. 116508)

The Rolex Daytona Ref. 116508, affectionately dubbed the “John Mayer Daytona,” showcases a bold 40 mm 18k yellow gold Oyster case and bracelet paired with a vibrant sunburst green dial. The tone-on-tone gold sub-dials, gold hands, and applied hour markers create a cohesive, luxurious aesthetic. Inside, Rolex’s renowned Caliber 4130 ensures smooth chronograph operation, 72 hrs power reserve, and COSC-certified precision.

Although initially underappreciated at its 2016 debut, this model became highly coveted after John Mayer dubbed it a “sleeper hit” in a Hodinkee interview, causing demand and prices to skyrocket on the secondary market. Its bold green-and-gold palette and Mayer’s endorsement have cemented its reputation as a modern classic.
