Baselworld 2018: Rolex presented its Luxurious Rainbow Watch Daytona!
The fair of international clock and watch industry, Baselworld, which takes place annually in the Swiss Basel, ranks among the most eagerly-awaited and most popular events of the year. It is here that the biggest news and treasures from the world of watches and jewellery are introduced that you simply cannot miss. The exhibitors are leading manufacturers of watches, such as Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, and of course also fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and others. Which watch appealed to us the most?
A watch from the master of watches, that is the new Rolex
Of course the fair showcased many beautiful and luxury watches, but we were most impressed by a "comeback" model by the maker of popular and luxury watches, Rolex. Th Rainbow Daytona watch was presented as far back as in 2012, when the model was on offer in white and yellow gold; but then it disappeared for a long time. Now, after long six years it returns to the scene; in the most luxurious form imaginable.
Pink gold, precious stones and incredibly effective sapphires. This is a watch heaven!
Any watch lover must fall in love with the Daytona Rainbow model at first sight! There is a perfect robust strap in luxurious 18k Everose Gold hue (which is a patented pink alloy developed by Rolex, resistant to discolouration), a dial decorated with 36 brightly coloured sapphires and the sides of the case with 56 rare diamonds. It is amazing! Compared to the older model the new Daytona watch it less conspicuous, but that does not take anything away from the effect. Pink gold offers a little more subtle contrast to the coloured sapphires, which is a welcomed feature in today´s times.
A collectible item or an everyday watch?
Rolex Daytona could be worn every day. Unfortunately its high price which is after conversion nearing two million crowns corresponds more to a luxury collectible piece. Therefore although we think the watch is captivating, we can only let ourselves dream about it and hope that the dream one day becomes reality...
