Details
Green Chrysoprase Cut From Stone
The dial on this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Beach" is green chrysoprase stone inside a solid 18K white gold case. Applied white gold Roman numerals mark the hours over translucent chalcedony quartz colored apple green by nickel, sliced from raw slabs and ground thin enough to clear the chronograph hand stack in a high-breakage process that gave every dial its own pattern of green banding. Case, bezel, and deployant clasp are solid 18K white gold; the watch passes for steel across a room and weighs 129.5 grams on its factory green leather strap. Black lacquer fills the hands and the framed rectangular markers at three, six, and nine, where a standard Daytona has lume.
Four Years Into The Beach Run
Rolex introduced reference 116519 in 2000 alongside Caliber 4130, its first in-house automatic chronograph movement, replacing the Zenith-based 4030. Only the white gold 116519 received Rolex's stone and mother-of-pearl dials, launched together in four matched strap colors: turquoise, yellow mother-of-pearl, pink mother-of-pearl, and green chrysoprase, quickly dubbed the "Beach" Daytonas by collectors. The name nods to Daytona Beach, Florida, home of the Daytona International Speedway that gave the Cosmograph its name and its racing heritage, and of the four colors, this seafoam green chrysoprase fits the beach theme best. Dated by its F serial to 2004, this example comes four years into that run; Rolex hasn't made a chrysoprase Daytona since, and the 116519 gave way to the ceramic-bezel 116519LN in 2017.
Factory Sticker And Original Crown
This piece is in Very Good Condition overall, with its factory green caseback sticker and original Triplock crown still in place. Crisp black graduations mark the white gold tachymeter bezel, and the chrysoprase stone dial is clean, with bright Roman numerals and hands. The sapphire crystal is clear. The factory green leather strap shows light creasing and locks on its crisp 18K white gold deployant clasp. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Hooded Lugs And A Folding Clasp
Worn on its green leather strap, the watch pairs the Daytona footprint with dense white gold heft. The hooded lugs let the strap run flush against the case, and the folding deployant opens and closes like a bracelet clasp.
