Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Sundust Baguette Diamond Dial, Everose Gold’ – Reference 116505 (2019)

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona stands as one of the most iconic chronographs ever produced, rooted in motorsport heritage yet elevated into the highest tier of luxury watchmaking. Over decades, Rolex has refined the Daytona without compromising its original purpose, allowing precious metal executions to coexist seamlessly with its racing DNA.

The reference 116505 represents the Everose gold generation of the Daytona, crafted in Rolex’s proprietary 18k rose gold alloy designed to preserve its warm hue over time. This reference balances technical performance with unmistakable presence, offering a distinctly modern interpretation of the Daytona formula.

This December 2019 example is fitted with the rare and highly luxurious Sundust dial set with baguette-cut diamond hour markers. The soft pink-toned dial harmonizes perfectly with the Everose gold case and bracelet, while the diamond indices add refinement without overwhelming the watch’s sporting character. Offered in mint condition and complete with its full set, this configuration stands among the most elegant and collectible executions of the modern Daytona.
