The Daytona 116509 at a glance
The 116509 is a discontinued 18k white gold Cosmograph Daytona. It has a 40 mm case and a polished 18k white gold bezel with an engraved tachymeter scale. Inside is the calibre 4130 automatic chronograph. It was offered with several dials, so the dial is part of identifying a particular watch.
We don't list a nickname for the 116509; buyers and dealers identify it by reference number and dial.
Where the 116509 price stands right now:

What affects the price
Dial. The 116509 came with several dials, and buyers often pay more for one than another. A listing should state the dial, and it should match the papers where they name it.

Tips for buyers
- Confirm the reference is 116509 with the calibre 4130. The papers should show the same reference and serial as the watch.
- Check the dial against the papers and the listing photos.
- Ask for the service history.
- Compare the asking price with our fair-value range, and with the range for its condition where one is shown.
Tips for sellers
- State the dial and include box, papers and receipt.
- Don't polish the case or bracelet.
