Introduced in 2016 and discontinued in 2023, the 116508 “John Mayer” is now one of the most actively sought discontinued Daytonas on the secondary market — its nickname earned after the renowned musician and collector publicly called it a “sleeper hit,” triggering a surge in demand that has never fully abated. The 40mm solid 18-carat yellow gold Oyster case pairs a fixed engraved yellow gold tachymetric bezel with a mesmerizing sunburst green dial that shifts in depth and tone with every change in light. Applied yellow gold Chromalight hour markers and hands, red “Daytona” script, and three contrasting sub-registers complete the dial. Presented on an 18-carat yellow gold Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding safety clasp and Easylink extension system. The in-house 4130 is a self-winding chronograph featuring a vertical clutch and column-wheel, containing 44 jewels, certified as a Superlative Chronometer to −2/+2 seconds per day, and delivering approximately 72 hours of power reserve, water-resistant to 100 meters.
