	Caliber 4130 sits inside every 116505 — the same first-in-house Rolex chronograph that launched on the 116520 in 2000. Vertical-clutch chronograph coupling, column-wheel start-stop-reset switching, 72-hour power reserve, 44 jewels, 28,800 vph, COSC certification, blue Parachrom hairspring on production from around 2005 onward. Hour and minute counters share a single side of the movement; mainspring replacement does not require uncasing.		Caliber 4130 sits inside every 116505 — the same first-in-house Rolex chronograph that launched on the 116520 in 2000. Vertical-clutch chronograph coupling, column-wheel start-stop-reset switching, 72-hour power reserve, 44 jewels, 28,800 vph, COSC certification, blue Parachrom hairspring on production from around 2005 onward. Hour and minute counters share a single side of the movement; mainspring replacement does not require uncasing.

	The 116505 runs the Rolex Superlative Chronometer specification across its production span. Rolex ~~tightened the specification from −2/+2 to the modern~~ −2/+2 ~~Superlative chronometer rating during the cal 4130's life,~~ and 116505 production ~~from~~ the ~~early 2010s onward carries the tighter spec~~.		By the Everose launch the 4130 was a mature movement: the blue Parachrom hairspring was already standard and the architecture was familiar to Rolex service departments. Revolution notes the 201-part layout, well below the El Primero-based 4030, and the vertical clutch that lets the chronograph run without the amplitude penalty of a lateral clutch. That matters on a gold Daytona, since many are worn as everyday watches rather than stored as fragile variants.

			The 116505 runs the Rolex Superlative Chronometer specification across its production span. Rolex redefined its Superlative Chronometer certification in 2015 around a −2/+2 seconds-per-day casing standard and a five-year guarantee; late 116505 production, including the 2021 meteorite executions, falls under that modern certification language.

	The Daytona never adopted the Glidelock micro-extension Rolex rolled onto the Submariner-line clasps in 2010. Easylink remains the only on-bracelet adjustment the 116505 ever offered.		The Daytona never adopted the Glidelock micro-extension Rolex rolled onto the Submariner-line clasps in 2010. Easylink remains the only on-bracelet adjustment the 116505 ever offered.

			The bracelet finishing follows the standard modern precious-metal Daytona formula: brushed outer links, polished centre links, and a polished clasp cover. The presentation is dressier than the steel 116520, though the clasp keeps the same Oysterlock and Easylink hardware.

	The meteorite-dial 116505 is the headline late-run variant. Rolex introduced meteorite dials across the cal 4130 generation gold Daytonas in 2021 — 116505 alongside 116508, 116509, 116515LN, 116518LN, and 116519LN — and the variant ran for two production years before the 2023 cal 4131 transition. The Gibeon-meteorite mineral base shows the natural Widmanstätten crystal pattern; no two examples are identical. The variant carries a documented secondary-market premium over the lacquer-dial 116505.		The meteorite-dial 116505 is the headline late-run variant.

The Gibeon-meteorite mineral base shows the natural Widmanstätten crystal pattern; no two examples are identical. The variant carries a documented secondary-market premium over the lacquer-dial 116505.

			The meteorite branch also splits the bezel and bracelet across the 2021 release. The white-gold 116519LN paired a black Cerachrom bezel with Oysterflex, while the yellow-gold 116508 and Everose 116505 kept engraved metal bezels and Oyster bracelets. The 116505 meteorite is therefore the full-metal Everose execution of the late-run meteorite programme.

	Tiffany & Co. and other retailer-double-signed 116505 examples have not surfaced in the public auction record at the volume that defines the earlier 16528 generation. By the late 2000s the retailer dial-signing programme that produced the documented Tiffany Daytonas of the 1980s and 1990s had largely ended at most of the historical partners; the 116505 sits on the post-programme side of that transition.

	What sets the 116505 apart from its yellow-gold and Rolesor siblings is dial breadth. The Everose case carries a wider catalogue of dial colours and stone treatments than any other cal 4130 generation Daytona — chocolate, black, ivory, sundust pink, and (from 2021) meteorite, with diamond-marker and baguette variants layered onto each base. The watch sits between the engraved-bezel 116528 yellow gold and the Cerachrom-bezel 116515LN as the engraved-Everose option of the modern Daytona line.

	The 116505 is the first Daytona made entirely in Rolex's Everose gold. Launched at Baselworld 2008, it shares the cal 4130 architecture and 40mm Oyster case profile of the steel 116520 and full-yellow-gold 116528, finished in the warm pink alloy Rolex patented in 2005 to keep rose-gold colour stable across the life of the watch. Production ran fifteen years on a single reference number before the cal 4131 successor 126505 took over in early 2023.		The 116505 is the first Daytona made entirely in Rolex's Everose gold.
