The Everose Daytona arrived in 2008, and the 2023 reference 126505 continues it with calibre 4131. Sundust is Rolex's name for the soft pink gold tone of this dial, paired here with black counters.

This Rolex Cosmograph Daytona wears a 40mm 18ct Everose gold case and a Sundust dial with black counters. Calibre 4131 inside, on an 18ct Everose gold Oyster bracelet.

Fun fact: The tachymetric scale on the bezel reads speed over a known distance, up to 400 units per hour.

The collection

Cosmograph Daytona

Rolex's chronograph, named for Daytona Beach and read against a tachymetric scale

Rolex introduced the Cosmograph in 1963 and named it for Daytona Beach in Florida, laying it out as a driver's instrument with three counters and a tachymetric scale on the bezel for reading average speed over a measured distance. Screw down pushers arrived on reference 6240 in 1965, sealing the chronograph into the Oyster case. The movement went from hand wound to an automatic based on the Zenith El Primero in 1988, to Rolex's own calibre 4130 in 2000 and the calibre 4131 in 2023. The case grew from 37 mm on the first series to 40 mm with that 1988 generation and has stayed there since, in steel, gold and platinum.

Who it suits

For a buyer who wants a chronograph rather than a dress watch, and who is choosing on metal rather than on case size.
