About the Cosmograph Daytona 116508
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116508 is a reference in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 18k yellow gold; bezel: 18k yellow gold bezel with tachymeter scale; movement: Rolex calibre 4130 (automatic chronograph). The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.
What the sales say
Our record for the 116508 covers about 35 months of sales, October 2023 to September 2026, and 44 of those results stand behind the current figure (36 eBay sales and 8 auction results). Sales bunched in June 2026, which alone accounts for 5 of them. The auction side of the record is Phillips and Bukowskis. Middle-tier confidence applies: enough evidence to frame a fair price, not enough to pin it tightly. The newest sale is 26 days old. We cannot yet grade its price swings: the last quarter holds too few results. A fair price for the 116508 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. With steady but not heavy trading, the estimate gives a sale half its weight after 180 days.
Its median over the last twelve months is 9.1% lower than the twelve months before, on 23 and 21 sales. Since 2018, the first year we can measure from forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales), the median is up 58% on that year, with its high in 2022 and its low in 2020. Its eBay median for the last 12 months sits about 14% below the auction median (20 eBay sales against 3 auction results); auction figures include the buyer's premium.
Our measured gap between a bare watch and a complete set is about 14% for this family, drawn from 5 sales without the paperwork. The listed sales split 32 full sets to 0 watch-only and 5 partial, with 2 unworn; the rest gave no set details. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. At the bottom of the list is a sale from February 24, 2026, on eBay, set not stated, about 54% below the worth-about figure; at the top, October 29, 2024, on eBay, full set, about 67% above the worth-about figure.
