Rolex's "Rainbow" Daytona is one of the most audacious watch designs to have been made by the conservative company. Rolex started out with a solid 18K Daytona, added diamond pave to the lugs and crown guards, decorated the glossy black dial with factory diamonds and added meteorite subdials. To top it off, the bezel was set with an array of rainbow-colored sapphires, each in a unique shade. The result is extremely luxurious and appealing to collectors for the use of materials and the expert craftsmanship, not to mention the rarity of the Rainbow Daytona.
