Collector Note:
The 116508 “John Mayer” is one of the most desirable modern Daytona references. Discontinued and increasingly difficult to source in factory-original configuration, examples with verified original green dials, full sets, and full bracelet links command strong collector interest and remain among the most sought-after contemporary Rolex models.
