Footnotes

The 116500 line included several variations of what can be considered as the modern Daytona, each distinguished by a different set of numerals at the end of the reference. There is the 116528 in yellow gold, the 116505 in Everose gold and the steel and gold 116523. It was the latter reference that would go on to be replaced with the reference 116503 in 2019.

The 116503 was launched at Baselworld in 2016 and as denoted by the 3 at the end of the reference is also a two-tone piece. The 116503 and the 116523 are almost identical except for the bezel which was revamped for the 116503.
