The Rolex Daytona 'Rainbow' is a contemporary icon and is one of the most sought-after modern Daytona models. Due to Rolex’s painstaking standards of stone matching and finishing, only a handful are manufactured each year and its demand vastly exceeds the supply, consequently making it virtually impossible to obtain.
The case is enhanced with white diamonds on the lugs and crown guards, and the uniformity of the gems in respect to their color and shape is quite exceptional. In fact, Rolex takes extreme care in ensuring that all the stones on each individual watch are of the same shade. This sorting process is carried out by hand and by machines that are usually only found in gemological laboratories. The result is quite remarkable and is what imbues these watches with an arresting quality that is hard to define.
First introduced in 2012, the Daytona Rainbow gained widespread recognition as it completely broke away from the traditional Rolex standard model watches. The first examples were in yellow gold, followed by white gold and in 2018 the ‘Everose’ pink gold, such as the present watch.
