What Rolex did at the fiftieth anniversary was the opposite of what most of the watch press expected. JX Su's Baselworld 2013 launch coverage at SJX records the question that defined the Basel hall that week — what is going on with the blue-and-brown colour scheme — and Robert-Jan Broer's Fratello piece from the same week frames the choice as Rolex declining to issue a redesigned anniversary Daytona in favour of placing the existing 40mm Cosmograph in 950 platinum with a colour palette no Rolex chronograph had carried before. The combination has aged into one of the most recognisable Daytona configurations in the modern catalogue. | What Rolex did at the fiftieth anniversary was the opposite of what most of the watch press expected.
