The M116505-0013 has the older Daytona character: a deep chocolate dial, engraved tachymeter bezel and full rose-gold plated Oyster-style bracelet around a 40mm case. Its 12.2mm profile and ShangHai 4130 platform give it a more traditional wrist presence than the newer 4131 references. This is the choice for a collector who wants the darker chocolate face and established 4130 proportions, with a flip-lock bracelet finish that feels substantial in daily wear.
The chocolate dial on the M116505-0013 is deeper and less sunburst-led than the newer brown-dial variants. That darker field lets the sub-dials and engraved tachymeter ring provide the contrast, giving the chronograph a strong, compact face. Rose-gold accents warm the layout without making the dial look bright.
The 40mm case measures 12.2mm thick with a 46.5mm lug-to-lug span, creating the fuller profile associated with this 4130-era configuration. The rose-gold plated 904L Oystersteel bracelet continues that profile through the lugs and flip-lock clasp, so the watch feels like one continuous metal object rather than a dial mounted on a separate strap.
The useful alternative is the newer M126505-0005. Its 4131-based platform and 11.7mm case read cleaner and slightly more current; the M116505-0013 is the better fit when a darker chocolate dial and older Daytona stance carry the decision.
This older reference has a more settled, metal-forward character, which works well when the purchaser values a strong bracelet presence as much as the chronograph face. Its chocolate field also holds up well against darker jackets, where a brighter gold dial can become the first thing people notice.
The darker dial gives the M116505-0013 a more formal edge than a bright rose-gold variant. It can sit under a jacket without competing with the wearer, yet the plated case and bracelet still give the watch the presence expected from a precious-metal Daytona. The flip-lock closure completes that older-style bracelet feel. Buyers choosing this reference usually want the case, bracelet and dial to arrive as one strong visual block.
The darker chocolate dial also keeps the watch from feeling overly bright in direct sun, despite the rose-gold bracelet and bezel. That restraint is what separates it from a gold-dial Daytona. It is a sensible choice for someone who wants a warm metal watch that can still spend most of its time with navy, charcoal and black clothing.
Before dispatch, our QC team reviews the chocolate dial tone, register printing, engraved tachymeter depth, hand alignment, chronograph engagement and reset, rose-gold surface, bracelet articulation and flip-lock closure. The service check keeps the darker dial, case profile and bracelet finish working as one coherent configuration.
It combines a deep chocolate dial and engraved tachymeter bezel with the fuller 12.2mm 4130-era Daytona profile and rose-gold plated Oyster-style bracelet.
