Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116505-18ct Everose Gold with White Lacquered Dial

Why we love this watch

Few timepieces command a room quite like the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in Everose gold. Reference 116505 is the definitive expression of Rolex's legendary racing chronograph - a 40mm round case rendered entirely in warm 18ct rose gold, paired with a white lacquered dial that delivers striking contrast against the richness of the case and bracelet. The dial is dressed with clean baton hour markers, keeping the aesthetic sharp and purposeful. A tachymeter-engraved bezel in 18ct rose gold frames the dial with functional elegance, allowing the wearer to calculate speed against elapsed time - a nod to the Daytona's motorsport heritage that remains as relevant as it is iconic. The chronograph complication sits at the heart of this reference, supported by a 72-hour power reserve that ensures reliability whether the watch is worn daily or rested over a long weekend. The Oyster bracelet, also crafted in 18ct Everose gold, carries the same warmth and weight as the case - a unified, monolithic construction that feels as substantial on the wrist as it looks. Presented in mint condition throughout - case, dial, and bracelet alike show no signs of wear - this example of the 116505 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most sought-after references through SASO.
