TIMELESS TIMEPIECE
What’s better than a Rolex? A gem-set, rainbow Rolex, that’s what. This incredible version of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watch has us besotted. The 18-carat Everose gold watch’s bezel is set with a gradation of sapphires in rainbow hues, the case has 56 brilliant-cut diamonds set into the lugs and crown guard, and the dial has 11 baguette-cut sapphire hour markers, each matching the colour of the corresponding point on the bezel, and the chronograph counters are pink gold crystals. Don’t be fooled though, this watch is not just a pretty face. Water proof to a depth of 100m, it’s equipped with a calibre 4,130 (self-winding mechanical chronograph movement entirely developed by Rolex) and a perpetual rotor that offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The watch comes with all the precision you’d expect from Rolex. And did we mention, it’s really, really pretty. Price: £71,100.
