Yellow Gold Champagne Dial Replica Daytona
When Light Becomes Luxury
There’s something hypnotic about yellow gold — the way it catches the light, soft yet commanding. The Rolex Daytona 116508, with its champagne dial and polished case, is not just a watch — it’s a statement of taste.
The 2024 VS Factory edition recreates that brilliance with surgical precision. Under a warm light, the dial radiates a honeyed metallic tone, while the gold hour markers reflect like liquid sunlight. The subdials sit slightly recessed — a detail collectors instantly recognize — and the red “Daytona” text adds just enough contrast to remind you this isn’t just luxury, it’s heritage.
The 4131 Engine — Power with Poise
Inside beats the VS 4131 chronograph, modeled after Rolex’s latest in-house caliber. Every part — from the column wheel to the vertical clutch — mirrors genuine Swiss engineering principles.
-
True mechanical chronograph with smooth start/stop/reset
-
72-hour power reserve with enhanced balance wheel
-
CNC-finished bridges with perlage decoration
-
Polished screws and skeleton rotor engraving
-
±2 seconds/day accuracy tested at five positions
This isn’t a hollow replica movement — it’s a mechanical performance designed for collectors who know the difference.
Crafted in 904L Gold-Plated Steel
VS Factory uses 904L stainless steel plated with multi-layer 18K yellow gold for unmatched depth and durability. The case feels substantial — the kind of reassuring weight only high-density metal can provide.
Each bezel engraving is laser-etched, not stamped, giving a crisp texture under magnification. Even the pushers offer that “Rolex click” — tight, confident, and refined.

The Feel of Authentic Confidence
“A watch like this doesn’t shout — it glows.”
— VS Factory Assembly Chief, 2024
On the wrist, the VS Daytona 116508 feels like success — not loud, but unmistakable. The bracelet articulates smoothly, the lugs catch reflections like a mirror-polished sculpture, and the entire piece carries a warmth that only gold can express.
It’s made for those who value craftsmanship as much as image.
Because true collectors don’t just wear watches — they curate them.
