Rolex’s reference 116500LN was released to great expectations in 2016 and thrilled watch enthusiasts. It was the first stainless steel Daytona model featuring a Cerachrom bezel and became an instant success. Today, it still remains incredibly difficult to obtain due to the model's enormous demand thanks to its superb aesthetics and icon status.

The present lot was owned and worn by Kevin “Mr. Wonderful” O’Leary throughout the 13th season (2021) of the Shark Tank television series. Given the nature of show business, there are a lot of wardrobe discussions behind the scenes at ABC’s entrepreneurial reality hit, Shark Tank—everything must be in its right place, right down to who is wearing what watch. With a variety of panelists helming the show, the new guest Sharks, ever-changing set design, and attire - all can vary drastically from one episode to the next. Television mainstay Kevin “Mr. Wonderful” O’Leary is an exception to the rule. He always wears the same uniform: black tie, white shirt, and dark suit with deftly coordinated tie pin, custom designed skull cufflinks, and the singular red Rubber B© watch strap. This Rolex Daytona is a perennial favorite of the Shark Tank wardrobe team in no small part due to its camera appeal.

Preserved in excellent condition and accompanied with its original Rolex Oyster bracelet, the present watch is offered for the first time at auction complete with its guarantee and presentation box. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Dr. Martin P. Solomon Scholars Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
