with all those lovely Daytonas shared around here, I caught the Daytona bug too. I have considered getting a full gold bracelet watch for a few months as I hit 40 years old soon and I think I am ready to carry that without feeling it’s too much of an “Uncle” watch :p Tried AP RO, GP Laureato, variou




Rolex Reference 116505
The 116505 represents Rolex's precious metal interpretation within the Cosmograph Daytona range, distinguished by its full 18k rose gold construction and chocolate brown dial configuration. This reference was produced from 2008 to 2016, positioning it as a luxury variant within the model lineup.
The 40mm case is crafted entirely from 18k rose gold, complemented by a fixed tachymeter bezel and sapphire crystal. The automatic caliber 4130 movement provides a 72-hour power reserve, while the watch maintains 100-meter water resistance. The chocolate brown dial pairs with the matching Everose gold Oyster bracelet for a cohesive precious metal presentation.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a precious metal Daytona with distinctive dial coloring. The chocolate brown dial treatment differentiates the 116505 from other gold variants in the range, while the rose gold construction places it firmly in the luxury segment of the collection. The eight-year production run provides reasonable availability for collectors of modern Rolex references.
That's the one I'd get from Rolex too!
...good whisky too. I like the Hakushu, but the Yamazaki 12-year-old is my favorite : )
RG and black dial is always a winning combo! Just make sure you go to the gym often to strengthen your muscle to lift that heavy watch!
