The proverbial king of the jungle, the Rolex Daytona is one of watchmaking's best-known and most sought-after watches. However, not all variants were created equal, much like the Rolex "Rainbow" Daytona ref. 126598RBOW. Launched in 2018 and produced in exceedingly small numbers before its discontinuation in 2022, the Rolex Rainbow Daytona ref. 116595RBOW is viewed as one of the most exclusive modern Rolex models in existence. Combining the Daytona's sporty essence with an exceedingly luxurious design and execution that Rolex seldom explores, the ref. 116595RBOW showcases Rolex's gem-setting skills in abundance.Unadulterated luxury at its very core, the ref. 116595RBOW features an 18kt Everose gold construction that is adorned with incredible factory-set gems throughout its entire construction. While it varies depending on the exact sub-reference, the ref. 116595RBOW features 56 brilliant-cut diamonds across its lug hoods and crown guards in addition to 36 baguette-cut multi-colored rainbow graduated sapphires arranged perfectly along its bezel. In addition to those gems, the ref. 116595RBOW can be offered on a diamond-set 18kt rose gold Oyster bracelet, or a plain Oyster bracelet, thus achieving two different aesthetics - one of pure opulence and one slightly more restrained. In the same vein, the Rainbow Daytona ref. 116595RBOW can be found with two dial variants: a black dial with rainbow-colored baguette-cut sapphires set on its hour markers to match the colors found along its bezel, or a diamond pave dial featuring those same rainbow-colored hour markers. Ostensibly a tool watch at heart, the Rainbow Daytona ref. 116595RBOW expands beyond the iconic collection's sensibilities and explores new territory for Rolex to command and conquer.
