Based on reference 116509, this Rolex Daytona 116509 Slate Arabic Dial replica features a white gold plated 40mm case paired with a matching Oyster bracelet and a slate grey dial with Arabic numerals. The product name says 116519, the strap model; the Oyster bracelet in our photo makes this a 116509. White gold Daytonas occupy a specific position in the Cosmograph hierarchy: precious metal weight and finish, but without the overt color statement of yellow or rose gold. The slate dial keeps the overall look restrained, and red chronograph and subdial hands stand out against the darker background.

What Collectors Notice

White gold Cosmographs appeal to those who want precious metal without broadcasting it. The 116509 on Oyster bracelet carries heft that steel cannot match, yet avoids the visual signature of yellow or Everose references. This subtlety is exactly what draws certain buyers to the white gold configuration over flashier alternatives. Inside, the super clone runs a clone Cal. 4130 with 72 hours of power reserve, and the A-grade a Japanese automatic movement; our notes on pusher feel and other Daytona QC points show what to test on either. See how this reference compares to the Everose 126515LN on Oysterflex for a study in visible vs understated precious metal.

This vs Other Versions

Where the all-steel 116520 serves as the accessible Daytona and the gold 116508 serves as the statement, the 116509 on Oyster occupies the space between. Slate dial and white gold together produce a monochromatic grey look that works with formal and casual settings alike. This replica Daytona 116519 card fills the stealth-luxury segment of the Cosmograph range for those who value material over color, and its slate tone sits between our silver and black white gold Arabic dials.

Rolex Daytona 116509 Slate Arabic Dial Replica FAQ

Why is the slate Arabic Daytona on a bracelet a 116509 and not a 116519?

Because Rolex used 116519 for the white gold Daytona on a leather or rubber strap and 116509 for the same case on a white gold Oyster bracelet. Our watch comes on the bracelet, so its reference is 116509; the strap version with this slate dial is a separate card.

How much is the Rolex Daytona 116509 Slate Arabic Dial super clone?

That super clone sells for $1,159 with the clone Cal. 4130, while the A-grade slate dial copy with a Japanese automatic movement sells for $379. Bracelet, bezel and dial are identical on the two.
