The Rolex Daytona “Pink Beach” was part of a 4-watch series released by Rolex at the start of the new Millennium. Cosmographs from this series were lovingly dubbed “Beach” as they were all fitted with hard stone dials (yellow mother of pearl, green chalcedony, pink mother of pearl and turquoise), and although the Daytona is known as a masculine steel sports watch, the “Beach” series provided a colorful fashion statement expressing “joie de vivre”.
Within the slick and lavish 18K white gold case, the pink mother-of-pearl dial provides an eye-catching element that is also refreshing and relaxing during a summertime retreat. Today, these watches are rare collector’s items and it is furthermore very rare to find a watch from this series that is very well preserved, like the present example, and in a complete set with all accessories including the original guarantee, original pink document holder and passport holder as well as its original colored presentation box in pink.
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.
