Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Everose Gold – Pink Dial’ – Reference 116505 (2012)

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has transcended its origins as a racing chronograph to become one of the world’s most coveted luxury timepieces. Combining technical precision with sculptural beauty, it remains an enduring icon within the Rolex catalogue.

The reference 116505, introduced in 2008, marked the first Daytona to be crafted entirely in Rolex’s proprietary 18k Everose gold — an exclusive alloy developed in-house to retain its warm tone and lustre over time. This 2012 examplefeatures a refined sunburst pink dial, perfectly balancing sport and elegance while complementing the warm tones of the gold case and bracelet.

Powered by the Calibre 4130, Rolex’s fully in-house chronograph movement, the watch offers 72 hours of power reserve, exceptional reliability, and precise control of timing functions via its column wheel and vertical clutch. Presented as a full set and in superb pre-owned condition, this Daytona remains one of the most versatile and contemporary expressions of the legendary reference.
