The 116508 is the full yellow gold cal 4130 Daytona on a yellow gold Oyster bracelet, with an engraved 18k yellow gold tachymetre bezel — the 2016 successor to the [[Reference:116528|116528]] and the second-to-last engraved-gold-bezel yellow gold Daytona Rolex produced before the line moved to Cerachrom. The 40mm case, the vertical-clutch column-wheel chronograph, and the 72-hour reserve all carry over from the rest of the cal 4130 family, executed here in 18k yellow gold from end-link to bezel. What separates it from the 116528 is the dial programme. Rolex used the 116508 launch to introduce the green sundust dial that John Mayer would single out three years later in his 2019 Hodinkee Talking Watches appearance, and added the meteorite dial in 2021. | The 116508 is the full yellow gold cal 4130 Daytona on a yellow gold Oyster bracelet, with an engraved 18k yellow gold tachymetre bezel — the 2016 successor to the [[Reference:116528|116528]] and the second-to-last engraved-gold-bezel yellow gold Daytona Rolex produced before the line moved to Cerachrom.

Production ran from 2016 to 2023, alongside the steel [[Reference:116500LN|116500LN]] that launched in the same year. The cal 4131 126508 then took the yellow-gold Oyster Daytona slot with revised case, dial, clasp, and movement architecture, keeping the engraved precious-metal tachymetric bezel. | Production ran from 2016 to 2023, alongside the steel [[Reference:116500LN|116500LN]] that launched in the same year.
