ABOUT THIS TIMEPIECE
2018 Rolex Daytona 116508, commonly known as the “John Mayer.” Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, this highly coveted Daytona features the iconic green sunburst dial, yellow gold tachymeter bezel, and is powered by the in-house Rolex Caliber 4130. Since its discontinuation, the “John Mayer” has become one of the most collectible modern Daytona references.
Offered in like new condition, this example comes as a full set with original box and papers dated 2018. The bracelet includes full links, and the watch has been serial verified as factory-born with the original green dial. A verification screenshot will be provided to the purchaser for added confidence and provenance.

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.
