	The 116505 is the first Daytona made entirely in Rolex's Everose gold. Launched at Baselworld 2008, it shares the cal 4130 architecture and 40mm Oyster case profile of the steel 116520 and full-yellow-gold 116528, finished in the warm pink alloy Rolex patented in 2005 to keep rose-gold colour stable across the life of the watch. Production ran fifteen years on a single reference number before the cal 4131 successor 126505 took over in early 2023.		The 116505 is the first Daytona made entirely in Rolex's Everose gold.

	The reference holds the same case, bracelet, and movement architecture as the [[Reference:116528\|116528]] yellow-gold Daytona — same 40mm Oyster shell, same screw-down pushers, same engraved metal tachymeter bezel, same 78509 / Everose-cast SEL Oyster bracelet — finished in the 2005 Everose alloy. Rolex describes Everose as a copper-rich rose-gold variant stabilised by a small platinum addition that prevents the copper-driven colour fade typical of conventional rose-gold alloys, cast in Rolex's own foundry rather than bought in.

	The Cerachrom-bezel Everose Daytona [[Reference:116515LN\|116515LN]] launched alongside the 116505 in 2011, and the two ran in parallel for twelve years. The 116505 is the engraved-bezel option for buyers who wanted the same case and movement without the ceramic insert. The 2023 ~~[[Reference:~~126505~~\|126505]]~~ (cal 4131) replaced both the engraved-bezel 116505 and the engraved-bezel 116528 with a single thinner-cased successor; the 116505 is therefore the last engraved-Everose Daytona Rolex made.

	The bracelet is the 18k Everose gold Oyster SEL — solid end links integral to the first link rather than a separable stamped piece, machined entirely in Everose gold. The bracelet is the gold-cast parallel to the steel 78490 that carried the 116520 across its run; the 116505's gold bracelet reference number is documented in the boxed-set paper rather than on the bracelet itself, and auction catalogue text generally identifies the bracelet by material rather than by reference number.

	The clasp is the modern Oysterlock with the Easylink 5mm comfort extension — the lever-and-keeper micro-extension Rolex added to the cal 4130 generation around 2002–2003. Every 116505 carries Easylink from launch; the early-production Oysterlock-without-Easylink configuration that defines a small share of 116520 / 116528 production never reached the Everose reference. The clasp blade carries a year code ~~per the Millenary Watches key~~ — single letter through 2010, three-character random alphanumeric from 2011 — and on SEL bracelets the date code, part number, and Rolex crown are stamped into the underside of the end link itself rather than the clasp blade alone. See [[Reference:Bracelets]] for the full date-code key.

	The Daytona never adopted the Glidelock micro-extension Rolex rolled onto the Submariner-line clasps in 2010. Easylink remains the only on-bracelet adjustment the 116505 ever offered.
