The Rolex Daytona needs no introduction. Simply put, just remember that due to its long history and the fact that it was worn by some legendary figures of the world, the Daytona is at the top of the list of many, if not the majority, of collectors. It does not matter under which reference or configuration, almost every watch enthusiasts aims at owning a Daytona one day.

Having said that, some models stand out from the pack. This is the case for this 116509. Indeed, Rolex manufactured a few dials from the Gibeon meteorite, a meteorite that fell in Namibia during prehistoric times. To understand the pattern of the dial, one quick google picture search will reveal a whole lot of information. Not only are these watches very rare, they will become increasingly harder to find, now that the Namibian government has banned the export and manufacture of the Gibeon meteorite.

Besides the enormous collection value of these watches, the look and feel is absolutely amazing. The 18k white gold case and Oyster bracelet have a heavy presence on the wrist, reminding the wearer that this is no ordinary Daytona. The tone-on-tone look of white gold with the silver meteorite dial is tastefully broken up by the red details of the dial. And well, of course, the dial is absolutely mesmerising. It is hard to comprehend in pictures how intricate and deep the patterns of the stone are. This specific piece is in like new condition and was sold in 2015, which was the last year of production of the 116509. It comes with its full original set.
