          Overview
          The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Rainbow" in 18k yellow gold (Ref. 116598) is a bold and extravagant iteration of the iconic chronograph, featuring a vibrant gem-set bezel and dial. This model combines high-performance mechanics with dazzling aesthetics, making it a highly sought-after collector's piece.

          1. Case & Material
          Material: 18k yellow gold
          Case Size: 40mm (classic Daytona dimensions)
          Bezel: Gem-set with 36 multicolored sapphires (graded in a rainbow spectrum)
          Crown & Pushers: Screw-down, fluted design in yellow gold
          2. Dial & Gem Setting
          Dial Options: Usually matching gem-set hour markers (baguette-cut sapphires in rainbow colors)
          Subdials: Three counters (30-minute, 12-hour, and small seconds) with gold accents
          Hands: Yellow gold, often with luminescent filling for readability
          3. Movement
          Caliber: Rolex 4130 (self-winding chronograph movement)
          Precision: COSC-certified chronometer (-2/+2 sec/day)
          Power Reserve: ~72 hours
          Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph (1/8th sec precision)
          4. Bracelet
          Design: Oyster or President bracelet in 18k yellow gold
          Clasp: Folding Crownclasp or concealed clasp for seamless elegance
          5. Gemstones & Craftsmanship
          Bezel Sapphires: Intricately selected and set to create a smooth color gradient (violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red)
          Dial Gems: Baguette-cut sapphires or diamonds for hour markers
          Total Carat Weight: Varies, but often exceeds 5 carats for the bezel alone
          Why It Stands Out?
          Exclusivity: Extremely limited production, making it a rare collector’s item.
          Bold Aesthetics: The rainbow bezel and gem-set dial create a striking, luxurious appearance.
          Investment Value: Rolex Daytona models, especially gem-set variants, tend to appreciate over time.
          Secondary Market: Can exceed $300,000–$500,000+ depending on condition and rarity.

          High-net-worth collectors
          Luxury watch enthusiasts

          Final Verdict
          The Daytona Rainbow (116598) is more than just a watch—it’s a statement of opulence and Rolex’s mastery in haute horlogerie. Its combination of technical excellence and breathtaking gem-setting ensures its place as one of the most coveted Daytona models ever made.
