Where most other brands do their utmost to create new and surprising models with sometimes interesting stories, Rolex doesn’t. In the world of Rolex just a new size, or case material or even another strap will do just fine. Never change a winning team (too much). This Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oysterflex 2017 Gold is a good example of that. It’s an extension to the existing collection.

Which means the Cosmograph Daytona with ceramic bezel is now available in three gold variants with a rubber strap. Or in Rolex speak, as they have developed a complete new language for all their inventions and materials, the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona with monobloc Cerachrom (patented!) is now available in 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold with Oysterflex bracelet.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oysterflex 2017 Gold comes in yellow gold, white gold or pink gold

The Cosmograph Daytona, launched in 1963, is one of Rolex its icons. In 1965, they introduced the first model with a black bezel from Plexiglas, this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oysterflex 2017 Gold is reminiscent of that model.

Inside is Rolex’ calibre 4130 which has been updated by Rolex in 2015 to meet the highest standards in performance. It carries the Superlative Chronometer certification with a precision of the order of -2/+2 seconds per day. Which is more than twice the requirement for an official chronometer.

Not a fan of gold? Then go for the steel version.
