  • Catalogue Essay

    Since 2005, Rolex has utilized a patented Everose alloy in all of its Oyster models crafted in pink gold. The aesthetic adds a luxurious touch to the iconic tool watch and the present Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116505 exemplifies this elegance. It showcases an appealing matching dial adorned with dazzling baguette-cut diamond indexes, with the pink sheen harmonizing with the unique Everose hue of the case and bracelet.

    The 116500 series Daytona incorporates Rolex's first-ever in-house self-winding chronograph movement, the calibre 4130. What is even better is the “like-new” condition of this present example, a must have for discerning Daytona collectors.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
