Reference:116505: Difference between revisions

Line 65:

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.
