At the start of the new millennium, Rolex introduced the groundbreaking Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116520. Featuring the all-new in-house self-winding chronograph caliber 4130 it came to replace its former Zenith El Primero based caliber 4030. Releasing the novelties with excitement Rolex introduced gold variants of the Cosmograph Daytona, and also for the first time various dial materials, including hardstones like rubellite present on this very example. As each stone occurs naturally, no two rubellite dials are identical in appearance. Each one varies in shade and color, giving each timepiece its own singular appearance. To further add charm and beauty, this magnificent Rolex Daytona was furthermore set with diamonds in white gold chatons for hour markers as well as an equally if not more charming factory baguette diamond bezel.
Still displaying the original factory green sticker, the present 116589 from 2005, cased in 18K white gold with a baguette diamond-set bezel and rubellite diamond dial, is especially rare and stunning. Preserved in excellent condition, the case showcases crisp and legible hallmarks beneath the lugs. Accompanied by its full set of accessories, the present Daytona accomplishes extravagance with charm and aplomb - a rare Rolex jewel for its next owner.
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.
