Rolex, Daytona, 116595RBOW, Rainbow Dial, Chronograph, Rose Gold, Rainbow Bezel, Oyster, 40mm

Colour, craftsmanship, and rarity come together in one of Rolex’s most recognisable creations.

The Rolex Daytona 116595RBOW-0001, often referred to as the “Rainbow Daytona,” is built as a high-jewellery interpretation of the brand’s most iconic chronograph.

The defining feature is the bezel, set with 36 baguette-cut sapphires arranged in a precise rainbow gradient.

Each stone is individually selected and colour-matched, creating a seamless transition across the spectrum.

Achieving this level of consistency is exceptionally demanding, which is part of what gives this model its exclusivity.

Beyond the bezel, the gem-setting continues across the case.

The lugs and crown guards are adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, adding another layer of detail that elevates the watch from luxury into the realm of haute joaillerie.

The dial introduces contrast to balance this brilliance.

A black lacquer surface provides depth, while baguette-cut sapphire hour markers mirror the rainbow tones of the bezel.

This creates a cohesive design where colour flows from the dial outward, rather than feeling decorative or disconnected.

The 40mm case is crafted from 18k Everose gold, Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy known for its warm tone and resistance to fading.

On the wrist, it offers both visual richness and a solid, substantial feel that reflects the weight of its materials.

Despite its appearance, this remains a true Daytona at heart.

Inside is the calibre 4130 automatic chronograph movement, featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch system.

This architecture ensures precise timing performance and smooth chronograph operation, supported by a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.

The Everose gold Oyster bracelet completes the watch, maintaining a consistent flow of material from case to clasp.

Its three-link construction provides durability and comfort, secured by a folding Oysterlock clasp designed for a confident fit.

The Rolex Daytona 116595RBOW-0001 is not designed to be understated.

It is a watch that sits at the intersection of horology and jewellery, created for collectors who want a Daytona that expresses individuality, rarity, and craftsmanship at the highest level.
