Rooted in its 1963 origins as a professional racing chronograph, the Rolex Daytona has grown into one of the world's most coveted timepieces. This 40mm reference, 126505-0005, is rendered entirely in 18k rose gold with a round case, fixed bezel bearing an engraved tachymetric scale, and a screw-down crown — details that honor the model's motorsport heritage while reinforcing its everyday wearability.
The chocolate dial is fitted with luminescent rose gold-tone hands and luminescent index hour markers, delivering clear legibility across a range of conditions. Powering the watch is an automatic movement featuring a Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring, offering enhanced precision and resistance to magnetic interference. Functions include the Cosmograph chronograph alongside hours, minutes, and seconds, all read through a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The Daytona rides on an Oyster bracelet secured by a Folding Oysterlock clasp, designed to keep the watch firmly in place during active use. Produced in 2025, this example is presented with its original box and papers, making it a complete set for the discerning collector.
