Cosmograph Daytona Everose 116515LN-0003 2014 Box and Papers

9991 Cosmograph Daytona Everose 116515LN-0003 2014 Box and Papers An excellent example of the rose gold Cosmograph Daytona from Rolex.\n\nThis is one of the more dressy variations on the Daytona, with a rose gold case and an ivory-coloured dial. The black cerachrom bezel pairs well with the shiny alligator strap, giving it a touch of glamour and formality that makes it perfect companion for an evening event. It's keeping time to COSC standards, and comes with the the inner and outer box, two booklets, bezel cover and dated warranty card along with the watch.\n\nRolex's Daytona might be one of the 'hottest' watches on the market today, but this wasn't always the case. The watch started out as the 'Cosmograph', seemingly named to coincide with NASA's efforts to explore the frontiers of space. Alas, Omega's Speedmaster won out and became the Moonwatch, leaving Rolex's new watch lacking a sense of purpose. \n\nIt wasn't until 1964 when Rolex rebranded the chronograph by associating it with the Daytona International Speedway, making the watch a racecar driver's tool. Even still, it never enjoyed much success until Rolex once again rebranded in the late 1980s, giving the Daytona a polished bezel and new dial that gave the watch a much more contemporary and luxurious feel. \n\nUntil a few years ago, only stainless steel Daytonas were appreciated by the collecting community. Solid gold references were seen as going against the ethos of a sports chronograph. But as the prices of steel watches skyrocketed, the precious metal Daytonas finally received some attention from the community.
