Rolex Daytona  "Everose black dial" ref.116505

The Rolex Daytona in Everose with a black dial, reference 116505, is a stunning representation of Rolex's mastery in combining luxurious materials with high-performance watchmaking. Introduced as part of the iconic Cosmograph Daytona collection, this model embodies both elegance and sportiness, making it a highly sought-after timepiece among collectors and enthusiasts.

The reference 116505 features a 40mm case crafted from Rolex's proprietary 18k Everose gold, an exclusive alloy created by Rolex to ensure the watch retains its beautiful pink hue over time. The Everose gold case exudes a warm, luxurious glow that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the timepiece. The case is complemented by a matching Everose gold bezel, engraved with a tachymetric scale, which allows for the precise measurement of average speeds, a nod to the Daytona’s racing heritage.

The black dial of the reference 116505 provides a striking contrast to the Everose gold case, creating a visually captivating and sophisticated look. The dial is adorned with luminous hour markers and hands, ensuring excellent legibility in various lighting conditions. The sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions offer chronograph functions with 30-minute, 12-hour counters, and running seconds respectively, all elegantly outlined in Everose gold for a touch of refinement. The Chromalight display ensures that the dial remains highly readable even in low-light environments, a testament to Rolex's commitment to functionality and precision.

Powering the Daytona 116505 is the Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house. Renowned for its robustness and reliability, the Caliber 4130 features a vertical clutch and column wheel mechanism that ensures precise and smooth operation of the chronograph functions. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. It is also equipped with Rolex's patented Parachrom hairspring, which provides greater resistance to shocks and temperature variations, enhancing the watch's overall performance and accuracy.

The watch is paired with a solid 18k Everose gold Oyster bracelet, which features the iconic three-piece link design known for its comfort and durability. The bracelet is fitted with an Oysterlock safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and an Easylink comfort extension link, allowing the wearer to adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5mm for added comfort.

In addition to its aesthetic and technical features, the Rolex Daytona 116505 offers water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for everyday wear and various activities, from swimming to casual outings. This robustness underscores Rolex's commitment to creating timepieces that are not only visually stunning but also highly practical and reliable.
