Since its launch in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona has been one of the most sought-after watches by aficionados, connoisseurs, fashionista’s and collectors. As a timeless watchmaker, the success of this company can be attributed to the bold innovations that positioned the manufacture as the most recognized luxury brand and a unique one among its competitors.
Not only did Rolex introduce the world’s first waterproof and dustproof “Oyster” case, as well as the perpetual movement in a wristwatch, but also many daring designs of wristwatches that are defining in the history of haute horology. Some striking examples include the Daytona Beach reference 116519 and the present example - the Cosmograph 'Rainbow' Daytona Reference 116595 RBOW.
The yellow gold and white gold Rainbow Daytona debuted in 2012, followed by the Everose Gold edition reference 116595 RBOW in 2018. Embellished with multi-color baguette-cut sapphires around the bezel, each gemstone is carefully handpicked and handcrafted to resemble an array of rainbow hues. Pushing the design limit of a wristwatch, the lugs and crown guards are elegantly set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The encrusted case is set against a gleaming black dial with gold meteorite sub-dials, and the hour markers are finished off with 8 other diamonds to further the sumptuousness and brilliancy of this one-of-a-kind timepiece.
