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.

Dial breadth is what separates the 116505 from its yellow-gold and Rolesor siblings. The Everose case carries a wider catalogue of dial colours and stone treatments than any other cal 4130 generation Daytona, running chocolate, black, ivory, sundust pink, and, from 2021, meteorite, with diamond-marker and baguette variants layered onto each base. Within the modern line it is the engraved-Everose option, sitting between the engraved-bezel yellow-gold 116528 and the Cerachrom-bezel 116515LN. | Dial breadth is what separates the 116505 from its yellow-gold and Rolesor siblings.
