RolexDaytona

This 2022 Rolex Daytona ref. 116505 was purchased new by the vendor from a UK-authorised dealer. It’s presented with the display box, outer box, warranty card, sleeve, booklet and swing tags. Two spare links are also included where the bracelet has been sized. Rolex’s five-year international warranty covers this example until 2027. The vendor advises the watch is unworn and had graded it ‘AAA’ for condition. The images appear consistent with that assessment, showing no signs of wear on the case or bracelet and factory stickers in place on the crown guards and part of the clasp.

This watch is being managed by Watch Collecting for the duration of the auction and is being held in a secure third-party facility. Watch Collecting will release the watch to the successful bidder after the vendor confirms they have received payment.

Retaining its distinctive silhouette, this reference 116505 elevates the model’s status with its “Everose” gold construction. The 40mm case and svelte profile make it supremely wearable, particularly for a precious metal example. The watch features an ivory white dial with rose gold sub-dials, applique hour markers and hands. The screw-down crown and pushers deliver 100m of waterproofness - highlighting the Daytona’s versatility.

Housed inside the case is Rolex’s first in-house chronograph movement. The calibre 4130 was introduced in 2000 and has powered the Daytona ever since. It’s equipped with an impressive 72-hour power reserve in addition to being chronometer certified. A screw-down crown and pushers afford 100m of waterproofness and further add to its versatility.

The Daytona has become one of Rolex’s most coveted watches. With a history in motor racing, the model represents the perfect combination of sporty looks and luxuriousness.
