First introduced in 2005, Rolex's exclusive pink gold alloy, known as "Everose," is a masterful blend of gold, copper, and palladium, designed to ensure that its rich, rosy hue remains vibrant and unfading over time. The present reference 116505, paired with a luxurious Everose bracelet, showcases this alloy in all its glory, creating a monochromatic masterpiece that exudes sophistication.
The dial, described by Rolex as "ivory," is a subtle cream shade that emanates a warmth and depth unmatched by other sunburst dials. This elegant hue not only complements the Everose gold but also adds a soft, inviting glow, enhancing the overall beauty of the timepiece. The contrast between the dial’s creamy warmth and the bracelet’s rich pink tones creates a captivating visual harmony.
Few Rolex Daytonas in this exquisite configuration have appeared at auction, and the present example is preserved in near-new condition with its factory caseback stickers in place. Dated from 2017 and accompanied by its complete set of accessories, this stunning combination of Everose gold and ivory dial is no longer available in Rolex’s current catalogue, making it a rare and desirable find for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
