FAQs

Is the Rolex 116500 discontinued?

Yes. Rolex officially discontinued the Daytona 116500LN in 2023, replacing it with the updated Ref. 126500LN, which features a new Caliber 4131 movement and slightly refined case design.

How much is a Rolex 116500 retail price?

The original Rolex retail price was $14,550 USD before its discontinuation, but secondary market prices now start around $30,000 USD due to scarcity and demand.

What is the difference between the Panda 126500 and 116500?

The 126500LN features a new Caliber 4131 with an updated rotor and skeletonized bridges, plus a slimmer case and reworked lugs. Aesthetically, both watches look nearly identical—the 116500 remains the last Daytona with the Caliber 4130.

Is the 116500LN a good investment?

Yes. Its limited production run, iconic design, and market demand make the 116500LN one of the strongest-performing Rolex models on the secondary market.
