Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
Reference 116503
Presented in a Rolesor combination of 18ct yellow gold and Oystersteel allows for the appreciation of a yet more elegant facet of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona.
Rolesor — or two-tone, as it is more commonly termed among watch enthusiasts — is a fascinating combination of lustrous gold and rugged stainless steel. Both exceptionally corrosion resistant and finished to Rolex’s highest standards, they together represent one of the finest material combinations. Importantly, both materials display distinctly different hues and colors depending on the prevailing lighting conditions: the yellow gold appears with a saturated gold and deep gloss at times, and rather more pale and mysterious in others. Similarly, Oystersteel at times has a surgically clean look replaced by a warm glow at others.
The bezel, equipped with a tacyhmeter scale that allows for the calculation of speed, is crafted from a solid block of 18ct gold, as are the crown, chronograph pushers and Oyster bracelet centerlinks.
Hour markers and hands in 18ct yellow gold complete the look.
A notable property of Yellow Rolesor, as seen here, is its ability to match any attire and occasion. It is no less elegant than an all-gold piece but, with its steel components, it carries a lot of the durable, go-anywhere nature of steel models.
Speaking of go-anywhere: the 100-meter water resistant Oyster case relies on a Triplock crown with triple water resistance system in place, two screw-down pushers and its trademark Oyster construction to safeguard the Manufacture Rolex Caliber 4130 inside.
A Superlative Chronometer, the 4130 caliber performs superbly both as a daily timekeeper and as a highly accurate chronograph, designed for measuring time periods up to 12 hours long.
Complemented by a black dial with yellow gold accents, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in Yellow Rolesor is a highly capable, yet timelessly classic part of the Rolex universe.
