Everose Elegance: A Symphony of Precision and Purity
Slipping my Rolex #126505In Everose gold Daytona back onto my wrist has been a rediscovery of sheer beauty. It's as though l'd momentarily forgotten just how magnificently it captures the bright sunlight, gleaming with an almost incandescent quality. It holds its own, a true equal in splendor to my 'Sprite' 126720VTNR. Together, they form a duo of unmatched allure, each with its own distinctive character, yet both epitomizing the zenith of Rolex craftsmanship. #rolex #collecting #wruw
Behold the stunning Everose Daytona basking in the sun's embrace. The diamond hour markers aren't just glistening; they're dancing with light, each facet playing a symphony of sparkles. And the Everose gold isn't just shimmering; it's radiating a warm, captivating glow that seems to capture the essence of the sun itself. This timepiece doesn't just tell time; it tells a story of brilliance and beauty with every sunlit moment it adorns my wrist.
The diamonds on this piece? Meticulously selected, each one meets Rolex's stringent quality standards. Each diamond set on this stunning timepiece is hand-selected for its exceptional quality, with clarity grades typically at VS (Very Slightly Included) or higher, ensuring only the clearest and most visually flawless gems adorn your wrist. The color grade is just as impressive, with most diamonds falling within the colorless to near-colorless range, reflecting the purest of white light. The full Everose gold crafted by Rolex itself lends a warmth and luster that's simply unparalleled. This Daytona isn't just a showcase of time; it's a showcase of timeless luxury and precision.
Everose gold is Rolex's exclusive, high-performance alloy, renowned for its durability and its unique ability to retain its pink color over time.
This remarkable material is created in Rolex's own foundry, where they cast the finest metals with meticulous care, ensuring a lustrous alloy that stands the test of time. It's not just a precious metal; it's a statement of elegance that's made to last, reflecting the pinnacle of Rolex's vertical manufacturing prowess and luxurious design philosophy.
This new 126xxx Daytona, with its caliber 4131 movement, showcases Rolex's relentless pursuit of excellence. According to Rolex, the caliber 4131 uses fewer parts than its predecessor, the caliber 4130, which not only suggests a refinement in design but potentially contributes to a slimmer profile. While the exact impact on the case thickness is not detailed, the redesigned movement maintains Rolex's high standards with the inclusion of its energy-efficient Chronergy escapement and a Parachrom hairspring. This advancement, coupled with a power reserve of 72 hours, upholds the legacy of the quarter-century-old 4130 with a promise of enhanced reliability and precision in the new generation of Daytona watches.
The Rolex Oyster bracelet, a mainstay of the brand since its patent in 1947, has a story marked by incremental innovations. Originally supplied by Gay Frères, the bracelet's design and quality have been refined over the years, reflecting Rolex's dedication to detail. Early versions were riveted, evolving into folded links in the late 1960s, and finally, the modern solid links we see today. Each change aimed to enhance durability and functionality, true to Rolex's ethos of continuous improvement. The end links, introduced in 1952, allowed for a seamless case integration and improved bracelet stability. The Oyster bracelet became the standard for Rolex's sportier models like the Daytona, contributing significantly to the watch's iconic status.
In the world of horology, the Rolex Daytona stands as a testament to precision and elegance, enhanced by its legendary Oyster bracelet. This bracelet, a product of decades of refinement, beautifully complements the Daytona's luxurious yet sporty aesthetic. The full Everose gold harmonizes with the meticulously chosen diamonds, ensuring that this timepiece isn't just a functional marvel but a work of art. It's a wristwatch that tells more than time; it narrates history, craftsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.

God tier isn't enough to describe how amazing this watch is😍
It's ok I suppose, if you can't get a Patek Philippe Grand Complications. 😜
How do you keep the clasp scratch-free? I love how you appreciate every aspect of the watch
Love it and to each their own, but shouldn’t a tool watch be just that? 🤔
Haha You know I’m a sucker for some gold!!
Gorgeous!

Thanks for the praise! I've shared my own raving review of Watches of Switzerland, where I acquired this exceptional Daytona. It's a rarity for me to make an impulsive purchase, especially one so grand, but the allure of the watch and the seamless experience made it irresistible. A spontaneous remark led to a private showcase, and in mere moments, I was committing to a timepiece that I couldn't be more thrilled to own.
Walked into Watches of Switzerland and walked out with brand new 126505LN Everose Daytona
It's ok I suppose, if you can't get a Patek Philippe Grand Complications. 😜
Even if I had the means to be a VIP Patek client, I find myself not drawn to their Grand Complications. Their ornate design and size are a bit much for my taste. I’d prefer a nice Journe, Gronefeld or Lange instead.

Dealing with OCD tendencies, I've developed a meticulous routine to keep my watches pristine. I often roll up my sleeves to prevent even the slightest scratch and avoid placing my watch on hard surfaces. Carrying gloves allows me to safely remove and place my watch on a soft surface if necessary. While some may find this excessive, maintaining a scratch-free watch brings me immense satisfaction and the effort involved is a small price for that joy.
I must ask, what type of camera/lens are you using? The pictures are magnificent.
I love Daytonas and it is my dream to own one, one day. It'll have to be a stainless one though!
I admire your dedication to keep your watch scratch-free.

I get where you're coming from. Indeed, Rolex has ascended to a more luxurious realm, with Tudor embracing the robust 'tool watch' spirit. Rolex's craftsmanship remains top-notch, and their timepieces, gold included, are built to handle life's rigors with elegance. While Rolex has indeed taken its place in the luxury tier, it has done so without compromising the robust essence of a ‘tool watch’. It’s this intrinsic durability that makes a gold Rolex not just a statement, but a practical choice too.
It's a delightful paradox—an opulent tool watch that's robust yet refined. And compared to the delicate calibers of some prestigious brands, a Rolex stands out with unwavering reliability; it's a watch you can truly live with, in all of life's moments, without the shadow of fragility. It’s the kind of resilience that you’d hesitate to expect from a high-end ‘sports watch’ from the Holy Trinity of watchmaking – try taking one of those through the paces of daily life and the difference becomes starkly clear.
Gorgeous!
Thank you, my friend!

Just my iPhone 15 Pro Max. No filters needed. I haven’t done a single edit to any of the photos. Nor have I used any additional lighting or other cinematic equipment. I’m amazed at the kind of photos I can take on my mobile phone

Are you using portraits mode? I also have a 15 pro (not max) but my photos can’t zoom in very well. Weird

Indeed, Daytonas are the stuff of horological dreams, and a stainless steel one would be the crown jewel. Thanks for your kind words! Keeping my current Daytonas in mint condition is part of the joy. Here's to adding a stainless panda 🐼 beauty to the collection one day!
I can appreciate that while you use your watches, you take great care of them! Do you wash them often?

No portrait mode. I typically opt for the 2x or 3x optical zoom to find the sweet spot where the camera sharply captures the watch details. It's a balancing act—nudging the phone closer, then pulling back to the point just before the focus fades. The 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm lenses? I rarely go there; zooming does the trick for me.

I'm diligent about keeping my watches pristine, using the AIS Collective ChronoPen for a thorough clean. It's great for a week's worth of shine, except at meetups where the inevitable happens—someone touches my watch. It's a pet peeve; I value my space and a smudge-free watch. I guess it's just one of those things us watch lovers have to deal with. Thanks for letting me air out my little grievance!

Awesome! I was looking at the collective pen, but have opted for some good old dish soap and an extra soft toothbrush, does the job quite well.

Certainly! A tooth brush and soap is perfectly acceptable. Another alternative for those watching their budget is Sparklean. Their pen is a solid alternative with a similar brush and dispenser design. However, my preference leans towards the AIS Collective pen for its superior sudsing action. After trying both, I found myself returning to AIS for its superior cleaning performance.
Everything is right with this combination. Rolex precious metals are all around top notch.
Please take this watch out and enjoy it!

Absolutely, the synergy of Rolex's craftsmanship and precious metals is unmatched. Rest assured, this beauty isn't just for display; it's made to accompany me on my life's adventures. Thanks for the encouragement!
stunning 🤩
Heavy hitter! 👏🏻👏🏻

Sounds like a Rolex ad! 😂
But as the owner of five, I know what you are saying. However, IMHO, keep a tool watch a tool watch! No need for precious metals or diamonds on a tool watch.
Now a Datejust, OP, 1906, go as opulent as you want. 😎
What a beauty

Absolutely, I get the nostalgia for the 'tool watch' era, but Rolex's evolution reflects market demand. It's savvy business to meet the desires for luxury, and Rolex does it with flair, offering pieces that dazzle with gems and precious metals. And yes, while Rolex has ascended, I believe Tudor has admirably stepped into the 'tool watch' space, maintaining that rugged ethos. It's a strategic diversification that honors both brands' heritages.
Interestingly, of the three Rolex models mentioned, only the 1908 is available in full precious metal for all variants. The Oyster Perpetual is exclusively available in stainless steel, while the Datejust is offered either in stainless steel or in various two-tone Rolesor options for the 36mm and 41mm models. To acquire a full gold Datejust, one must opt for the smaller 31mm ‘ladies' size, or am actual 28mm Lady-Datejust.
