Daytona Yellow Gold Rainbow Black Dial 40mm

About the Model

The Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Rainbow (ref. 126598RBOW) expands on one of the marque’s most visually daring and collectible modern variants. Its signature detail – a bezel set with 36 baguette-cut sapphires in a gradient rainbow arrangement – transforms the functional Daytona chronograph into a statement of high watchmaking and gem-setting mastery.

Crafted in 40mm of 18ct yellow gold, the case features screw-down pushers and crown for a water resistance of 100m. The black lacquer dial is accented by eleven gradient sapphire hour markers and features champagne subdials, framed by a gold Rolex coronet at 12 o’clock. Powered by the in-house calibre 4131, the watch delivers a 72-hour power reserve and integrates Rolex’s Chronergy escapement and Paraflex shock absorbers for improved durability and precision.

Highly limited in production and largely allocated to VIP clients, the 126598RBOW follows in the legacy of its 2018 rose gold predecessor. Its scarcity, combined with meticulous stone-setting and technical merit, places it among the standout modern Daytonas at the intersection of jewellery and chronograph lineage.Read More
