Catalogue EssayIntroduced in 2000, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116519 is the white gold counterpart of the stainless steel ref. 116520, which was equipped with Rolex’s first in-house self-winding chronograph caliber 4130. Considered as an upgrade from its previous Zenith El Primero based cal. 4030, the new movement enhances its precision by incorporating a vertical clutch instead of a lateral clutch used in the old caliber. Furthermore, the cal. 4130 reduces stress on the movement as it has 60% less components than the cal. 4030 with only 201 separate parts. The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116519 is fitted with a blue sodalite dial. Hardstone dials are always desirable, especially when it is featured in a Rolex wristwatch and even more so if it is a Rolex Daytona. Paired along with a matching blue crocodile strap, the present example from 2004 is offered with excellent overall condition and is complete with its full set of accessories. It is a fantastic chance for a collector seeking for both variants, the other in red grossular garnet rubelite dial, which is also offered in this sale.Read MoreMaker BiographyRolexSwiss • 1905 Follow Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.View More Works
