The Rolex Daytona is a horological icon that has been a collectors’ favourite since it was first introduced in 1963. Coveted examples from the past include models with the exotic “Paul Newman” dial, the first gold Daytona, and the diamond-set Daytona references 6269 and 6270 - models that pushed the category of the luxury sports watch into uncharted territory.

Introduced in 2012, the first “Rainbow” Daytonas were encased in yellow gold with white gold examples to follow, and their later introduction in pink gold. The “Rainbow” Daytona is the current-day embodiment of the brand’s experimentation with the gem-set Daytona. Today, these watches have become one of the most sought-after and collectible serially produced Daytona models made since the discontinuation of the manual version in 1988. The production of these models remains extremely limited due to the difficulty in sourcing appropriately colored stones.

The beautiful and impressive bezel is set with multi-coloured sapphires, which mimics the colour spectrum. The tones range from a vibrant and intense deep red, and slowly morph to mauve, orange, chartreuse, green, blue and finally deep purple. The bezel's beauty stems from the well-matched, pure and bright colored gemstones – all internally flawless. The colours blend together seamlessly, attesting to Rolex's technical superiority and eye for color. The lugs are furthermore set with diamonds, to enhance the colourful nature of the watch.

Preserved in like-new condition, the present watch is accompanied by its original guarantee, presentation box, and hang tags. It’s a rare opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most sought-after Daytona models in modern production.
