At the 2024 Watches & Wonders Geneva, Rolex unveiled a dazzling new gem-set version of the Cosmograph Daytona Chronograph, distinguished by a natural mother-of-pearl dial of exceptional quality. The iridescent, semi-translucent luster of the material interacts beautifully with the brilliance of the diamonds, creating an impression of refined luxury.

The 40mm Oyster case, crafted entirely from a solid block of 18K white gold, features a screw-down crown ensuring 100 meters of water resistance. The polished surfaces of the case contrast harmoniously with the satin-brushed lugs, highlighting the brand’s meticulous finishing. The traditional tachymeter bezel of the Daytona has been replaced by a ring of 36 brilliant-cut diamonds, seamlessly extending the sparkle of the diamond hour markers on the dial.

The main dial is carved from a single piece of top-grade white mother-of-pearl, while the three subdials are crafted from black mother-of-pearl, forming the collector-favorite “panda” contrast. Depending on the lighting and viewing angle, the nacre reveals a mesmerizing rainbow of hues, blending elegance and opulence. The dial is set with eight brilliant-cut diamond hour markers, with the signature Rolex crown at 12 o’clock.

Inside beats the Rolex Caliber 4131 automatic movement, oscillating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 72-hour power reserve. The movement incorporates a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, ensuring chronometric precision to within ±2 seconds per day.

Completing the design is the Oysterflex composite bracelet, combining the durability of a metal blade core with the comfort and flexibility of high-performance elastomer.

Official retail price: RMB 514,300.
