Daytona 116595RBOW-0001 Chronograph Automatic Chronometer

Description of the Watch

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116595RBOW-0001, affectionately known as the “Rainbow Daytona,” is a dazzling fusion of horological precision and haute joaillerie. Crafted in 18K Everose gold, this timepiece is adorned with an array of meticulously selected gemstones, showcasing Rolex's unparalleled gem-setting expertise.

Overview

Introduced at Baselworld 2018, the Rainbow Daytona stands as a testament to Rolex's commitment to pushing the boundaries of watch design. Its vibrant bezel, set with 36 baguette-cut sapphires in a gradient of hues, captures the essence of a rainbow, making it one of the most sought-after models in the Daytona collection.

Design and Craftsmanship

The 40mm Oyster case, forged from Rolex's proprietary Everose gold, exudes warmth and elegance. The bezel's rainbow of sapphires is complemented by 11 baguette-cut sapphire hour markers, each matching the color of the corresponding bezel stone. The lugs and crown guards are set with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds, adding an extra layer of opulence. The black lacquer dial provides a striking contrast, enhancing legibility and emphasizing the watch's luxurious details.

At its heart lies the Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement renowned for its reliability and precision. Equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, it offers resistance to shocks and temperature variations. The movement boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, ensuring consistent performance.
