At 40mm, the yellow gold Daytona 116508 with a champagne dial is one of the more visually unified Cosmographs in the range, and this Rolex Daytona 116508 Champagne Dial replica in reference -0003 delivers that monochromatic gold presence on a matching Oyster bracelet. The 116508 family covers the all-yellow-gold Daytona on metal bracelet, and this particular variant features a tone-on-tone dial: champagne subdials, gold baton markers and a champagne base. Sapphire crystal, 100 m water resistance, and a choice between a clone Cal. 4130 and a Japanese automatic chronograph round out the specification.

What Collectors Notice

The 116508 reference has produced several dial variants over its production run, and the -0003 suffix identifies this specific champagne configuration. Collectors who track Rolex Daytona yellow gold references will notice the Oyster bracelet here rather than the Oysterflex found on newer 116518LN models. That bracelet choice locks this reference into the traditional all-metal Cosmograph category. The tachymeter bezel provides chronograph scaling up to 400 units, matching every other Daytona in the current and recent catalog. For a contrasting approach in a different metal, the rose gold 126515LN with chocolate dial pairs Everose with rubber. View the complete reference catalog in our Daytona collection.

This vs Other Versions

Compared to the m116508-0014, which sets black subdials on its champagne dial, the -0003 keeps every register in the same champagne tone as the dial. Both share identical case construction, bracelet, and movement platforms. The difference lives entirely in dial execution. For buyers choosing between 116508 variants, dial preference becomes the deciding factor. This replica Daytona m116508 in the tone-on-tone configuration suits those who want one unbroken gold shade, with no black counters breaking up this champagne Daytona copy.

Rolex Daytona 116508 Champagne Dial Replica FAQ

Is the champagne Daytona 116508 tone-on-tone or with black subdials?

This -0003 is tone-on-tone: the three counters share the champagne colour of the dial, and the hour batons are gold rather than luminous white. If you want black counters on the same champagne base, that is the -0014 listed below.

How much is the Rolex Daytona 116508 Champagne Dial super clone?

The super clone version is priced at $1,159 with a clone Cal. 4130 inside, and the A-grade version with a Japanese automatic movement is $379. The clone calibre keeps the 72-hour reserve rating and the column-wheel chronograph; our guide on how BT and Clean finish the Daytona chronograph explains where the two factories differ.
