Description
The Rolex Daytona (116505) with a Meteorite Dial is one of the most coveted configurations in the Cosmograph lineage. The dial is sliced from the core of an asteroid that traveled across the solar system for millions of years before reaching Earth. Once acid-etched, the metallic surface reveals the Widmanstätten patterns—unique, crystalline structures that make every single dial a distinct work of art; no two are ever identical.
The 40mm case and the iconic Oyster bracelet are meticulously crafted from 18 ct Everose Gold, cast in Rolex’s own foundry to ensure its signature luster never fades. The dial is further enhanced by black chronograph sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, creating a high-contrast, “Panda-style” aesthetic that ensures maximum legibility. The fixed bezel features an engraved tachymetric scale, allowing for the precise measurement of speed over a fixed distance.
Powering this celestial instrument is the Calibre 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement known for its incredible reliability and vertical clutch system, which allows for smooth, instantaneous starts of the timer. With a 72-hour power reserve and a blue Parachrom hairspring resistant to shocks and magnetism, the 116505 is as technically advanced as it is visually breathtaking. Finished with the Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink extension, it is the ultimate expression of luxury and precision.
