The M116505-0017 makes the older 4130 Daytona more expressive through its gold dial and black sub-dials. A rose-gold plated 904L Oystersteel case, plated tachymeter bezel and Oyster bracelet carry the warm color across the full 40mm watch, while the 12.2mm profile gives it the fuller presence collectors expect from this generation. Choose it when the dial needs to stand out from a distance instead of staying in the darker chocolate range.
The gold dial gives the M116505-0017 a more direct visual identity than the chocolate variants. Black sub-dials cut into the warm field, and the plated tachymeter bezel repeats the rose-gold direction around the edge. That contrast makes the chronograph layout readable while keeping the face visibly more assertive in daylight.
This reference retains the 40mm, 12.2mm 4130-era profile. The rose-gold plated 904L Oystersteel case and Oyster bracelet with flip-lock closure create a continuous warm-metal presence, and the 46.5mm lug-to-lug span keeps the outline familiar even when the dial is doing more of the visual work.
For a quieter rose-gold choice, compare the darker M116505-0013 chocolate-dial Daytona. Its dial lowers the contrast and lets the case finish lead; the M116505-0017 suits a collector who wants the dial itself to be the statement.
This brighter version has more presence in a room and works naturally with black, navy or grey clothing, where the rose-gold case and gold face carry the outfit without another colored accessory. The tradeoff is direct: it is less discreet, but much more immediate.
The gold face changes the balance of the watch before the case is even noticed. Black registers prevent the warm field from becoming difficult to read, while the rose-gold bracelet repeats the dial tone and keeps the configuration coherent. The 12.2mm case has more wrist presence than the newer thin-profile references, which is part of the appeal for a collector who likes a substantial chronograph and does not need the most discreet option.
The full Oyster bracelet is important here because it carries the rose-gold tone through the whole watch. A strap version would make the dial feel more isolated; the bracelet makes the M116505-0017 read as a complete precious-metal Daytona. That is the core buying reason for this configuration.
Before dispatch, our QC team reviews gold dial uniformity, black register spacing, tachymeter printing, hand alignment, chronograph engagement and reset, plated case tone, bracelet articulation and flip-lock closure. The dial and bracelet are checked together so the warmer configuration remains balanced from the face through the lugs.
It suits a buyer who wants the older 4130 Daytona profile with a gold dial and black sub-dials that read more assertively than a chocolate configuration.
