DAYTONA 116505 ROSE GOLD FULL SET YEAR 2012 40MM

ROLEX DAYTONA REF. 116505 This Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18 ct Everose gold, with a black and pink dial and an Oyster bracelet, features an 18 ct Everose gold bezel with engraved tachymetric scale. This chronograph was designed to be the ultimate timing tool for endurance racing drivers. More than 50 years after its creation, the Cosmograph Daytona remains in a class of its own among sport chronographs and continues to transcend time. THE TACHYMETRIC SCALE HIGH-PERFORMANCE CHRONOGRAPH With its tachymetric scale, its three counters and its pushers, the Cosmograph Daytona was designed to be the ultimate timing tool for endurance racing drivers. The bezel features a tachymetric scale to read average speed over a given distance based on elapsed time. This scale offers optimal legibility, making the Cosmograph Daytona the ideal instrument for measuring speeds up to 400 units per hour, expressed in kilometres or miles. BLACK AND PINK DIAL DISPLAYING LAPSED TIME This model’s Black and pink dial with snailed counters features 18 ct gold applique hour markers and hands in Chromalight, a highly-legible luminescent material. The central sweep seconds hand allows an accurate reading of 1/8 second, while the two counters on the dial display the lapsed time in hours and minutes. Drivers can accurately map out their track times and tactics without fail. 18 CT EVEROSE GOLD AN EXCLUSIVE PATENT To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 ct pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry: Everose gold. Introduced in 2005, 18 ct Everose is used on all Rolex Oyster models in pink gold. THE OYSTER BRACELET ALCHEMY OF FORM AND FUNCTION The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology. And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function. First introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster collection.
