SuperCar Blondie — the social media force behind some of the world's most-watched supercar content — was photographed at what appears to be a beachside automotive gathering, wearing a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in 18k Everose gold on an Oysterflex strap. The pairing of Gucci monogram outerwear and a rose-gold Daytona reads as a considered, cohesive luxury statement rather than accident.

The reference in question is almost certainly the 116515LN, introduced in 2013 and updated over subsequent years. Its key signatures are all visible: the warm champagne/pink-toned dial with baton hour markers set with diamonds, the 40mm Everose gold case, and the contrasting black ceramic tachymeter bezel — a combination that positions this variant as the most wearable and versatile of the Daytona precious-metal family. The Oysterflex strap, added to this reference as an option, consists of a longitudinal titanium-nickel alloy blade overmoulded in black elastomer, offering the comfort of rubber with the structural integrity of a bracelet.

Powering the watch is Rolex Calibre 4130, an in-house column-wheel, vertical-clutch chronograph movement beating at 28,800 vph with a 72-hour power reserve. Horology enthusiasts note the 4130 as a generational leap over the older 4030 — its reduced parts count improves reliability and serviceability, while the vertical clutch eliminates the hand-jump characteristic of older lateral-clutch designs.

From a collector standpoint, the 116515LN occupies an interesting space. It avoids the near-mythological waiting-list hysteria surrounding the steel 116500LN, yet its Everose gold construction and Oysterflex configuration make it genuinely scarce in secondary market supply. Demand from a style-forward, wealthy demographic — exactly the audience SuperCar Blondie commands — keeps grey-market premiums modest but consistent.

With an official retail price of approximately $36,650 USD for steel variants climbing sharply in precious metals, the Everose Daytona retails around $38,550 to $60,000 depending on dial and bezel configuration. Grey market values for the 116515LN with diamond dial have historically traded between $55,000 and $75,000, reflecting steady collector appetite for Rolex's best-looking chronograph.
