About this watch
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116508 “John Mayer” Unworn – 2023 – Green Dial – 18ct Yellow Gold – Full Set
Offered for sale is the highly sought-after Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116508, presented in exceptional 2023 condition. Crafted from solid 18ct yellow gold and paired with the iconic sunburst green dial, this is the legendary configuration affectionately known among collectors as the “John Mayer” Daytona—one of the most desirable modern Rolex sports watches. The nickname stems from musician and renowned watch collector John Mayer, whose public praise of the model helped elevate its status among enthusiasts. The 40mm Oyster case is perfectly balanced on the wrist and is complemented by Rolex’s signature solid 18ct yellow gold Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp. The striking green dial, accented by gold chronograph registers and luminous hour markers, creates a bold yet elegant contrast that has become instantly recognisable in the world of luxury watches. The reference 116508 was produced with Rolex’s in-house calibre 4130 automatic chronograph movement, celebrated for its precision, reliability, and robust construction. It features a 72-hour power reserve, COSC-certified chronometer performance, screw-down pushers, sapphire crystal, and 100 metres of water resistance. Discontinued in 2023 and replaced by the newer reference 126508, the 116508 has become increasingly collectible, particularly in this green dial configuration. Its combination of precious metal construction, iconic Daytona heritage, and limited production has made it one of the standout references of the modern Rolex era

Testimonials
What our clients say
Had a great experience at Kings and Queens. The service was excellent, and they had a great selection of watches. I ended up purchasing a beautiful Patek Philippe and couldn’t be happier with it. The whole process was smooth and professional. Highly recommend Kings and Queens if you’re looking for a quality watch and great service.
