Description of the Watch

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Everose Gold 40mm Ref: 126505-0002 is a sophisticated expression of Rolex’s chronograph legacy, reimagined in warm 18 kt Everose gold. Designed for those who demand both technical mastery and luxurious design, this model features a striking bright black and Sundust dial with diamond-set hour markers, making it a standout piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Overview

Released as part of the updated Daytona collection in 2023, this reference continues the lineage of high-performance chronographs originally crafted for racing professionals. The timepiece merges Rolex’s engineering precision with contemporary elegance, making it ideal for both everyday refinement and formal occasions.

Design and Craftsmanship

The 40 mm Oyster case is crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 18 kt Everose gold, which maintains its rose hue over time. The dial pairs bright black sub-dials with a Sundust backdrop, elegantly contrasted by diamond-set hour markers and polished 18 kt gold hands. Chromalight coating ensures legibility in the dark. The fixed bezel in matching Everose gold features an engraved tachymetric scale for timing speeds, maintaining the Daytona’s motorsport roots.

Movement and Performance

The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 4131, a Perpetual, mechanical chronograph, self-winding movement. This next-generation calibre features a Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers for improved efficiency and resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. It provides a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and meets Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification standards for accuracy and performance.
