Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Rainbow”: sapphire bezel in a colour gradient
Features of the RBOW references
The key distinguishing feature of the “Rainbow” is its bezel, set with 36 baguette sapphires in graduated colours. These versions can be identified by the reference suffix RBOW. “Rainbow” is a nickname from the collector scene, not an official Rolex name. All variants are based on the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona.
History and variants
According to the specialist press, the version first appeared in 2012 in 18 ct yellow gold (116598RBOW) and in 18 ct white gold (116599RBOW). In 2018, the variant in 18 ct Everose gold followed with the reference 116595RBOW. In addition, trade sources list the references 126595RBOW, 126598RBOW and 126599RBOW; their year of introduction is given inconsistently there. As of 02.02.2026, the Daytona overview on rolex.com does not include any RBOW version. If you are interested in other nicknames within the Daytona line, you will find overviews of the Daytona “Panda”, the Daytona “John Mayer”, the Daytona “Le Mans” and the Daytona “Platona”.
