Rolex Daytona ‘Sundust Baguette’ 2022

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116505 Everose Gold Sundust Baguette Dial is a luxurious take on Rolex’s iconic chronograph, blending motorsport heritage with high-end materials and refined detailing. Crafted entirely from Rolex’s proprietary 18ct Everose gold, the 40mm case and matching Oyster bracelet have a warm, pink-toned hue that resists fading over time, giving the watch a consistent and rich appearance on the wrist. The fixed bezel, engraved with a tachymeter scale, ties it back to the Daytona’s racing roots, even as the overall execution leans heavily into elegance.

What truly defines this model is its sundust dial, a soft champagne-pink surface with a subtle sunburst effect that shifts gently depending on the light. Instead of standard hour markers, it features factory-set baguette-cut diamonds, each precisely aligned to maintain the dial’s symmetry and legibility. These rectangular diamonds add a quiet brilliance rather than overwhelming sparkle, keeping the watch sophisticated rather than flashy. The classic three-register chronograph layout remains intact, preserving the functional identity of the Daytona beneath the luxury finish.

Inside, it houses Rolex’s in-house Calibre 4130 automatic movement, a chronograph mechanism known for its robustness, efficiency, and approximately 72-hour power reserve. The movement reflects Rolex’s emphasis on reliability and precision, ensuring that the watch is not just visually impressive but also technically sound.
