Catalogue Essay
An instant success, the Daytona Everose reference 116515LC debuted at the Baselworld 2012, and was much praised by collectors for finally offering a precious metal Daytona which could be worn under all circumstances. While the version with full bracelet is often considered rather heavy, and the alternative configuration with alligator strap can wear quickly, the innovative Rolex Oysterflex rubber strap is not only extremely comfortable, but offers all-day wearability and is very durable.
In never-been-used condition, the present watch is an attractive and extremely well-preserved example of the model, featuring a pitch black dial, pink gold subsidiary dials and black Cerachrom bezel. It is furthermore offered with a full set of accessories, and still retains the original factory stickers to the casing.

Rolex
Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
