Catalogue Essay
Paired with a leather strap instead of an Oyster bracelet, the present reference 116519 Cosmograph Daytona is a more laid back and sporty iteration of the famous timepiece. The stunning black Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial is a chameleon, changing from dark greys to light pinks to deep purple hues. The white gold case accents the diamond set numerals and Rolex’s proprietary white gold crystal subdials to stunning effect.

Dating to 2021, this now-discontinued iteration of the Cosmograph Daytona is fitted with the caliber 4130 automatic movement, and is accompanied by all of its original accessories. It is preserved in outstanding overall condition with hardly any signs of wear.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded 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.
