Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman” 18K Yellow Gold Black Fat Dial 116528 Watch
A highly sought-after timepiece that bridges classic design with modern performance, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116528 is a pinnacle of luxury chronographs. While this modern reference is not a “Paul Newman” model, a nickname reserved for vintage Daytonas, it has earned its own legendary status. This specific version is distinguished by its black dial, a variant that collectors sometimes refer to as a “Fat Dial” due to a slightly bolder font on the sub-dials. The watch is meticulously crafted from a single block of solid 18k yellow gold, from its case to its iconic fixed bezel with an engraved tachymeter scale.
