Rolex Oyster 40 mm Golden, Black Counter Rings Dial 18k Yellow Gold Oysterflex m126508-0005

The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in 18 kt yellow gold with a golden dial and contrasting counter rings. It features an Oyster bracelet and 18 kt yellow gold bezel with an engraved tachymetric scale.

With its tachymetric scale, its three counters and its pushers, the Cosmograph Daytona was designed to be the ultimate timing tool for endurance racing drivers. The bezel features a tachymetric scale to read average speed over a given distance based on elapsed time.

This scale offers optimal legibility, making the Cosmograph Daytona the ideal instrument for measuring speeds up to 400 units per hour, expressed in kilometres or miles.

This model features a golden dial with snailed counters, 18 kt gold applique hour markers and hands with a Chromalight display, a highly-legible luminescent material.

The dial allows drivers to accurately map out their track times and tactics without fail.

By operating its own exclusive foundry, Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 kt gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 kt gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white.

They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.
