Section 1 — Limited & Special Editions
No new limited editions from Japanese brands.
Rolex — Cosmograph Daytona “The Four Seasons”
- Edition size: Four unique 1-of-1 pieces — Spring (18ct white gold), Summer (Everose gold), Autumn (yellow gold), Winter (950 platinum); no reference numbers published, as these are not a numbered production series
- Price: Not for retail sale — no list price; going to auction with estimates to be published closer to sale date
- OAvailability: Auction only — Phillips, London, September 28, 2026; proceeds benefit the Federer Foundation and Re:wild. Not obtainable through Rolex retail channels at any price.
- What’s new: Four one-of-a-kind Daytonas built on Cal. 4131 (Superlative Chronometer), each matched to a season through case metal and gem-set stone dial — Spring’s chrysoprase dial with purple sapphires, Summer’s turquoise dial with pink sapphires, Autumn’s mookaite dial with green tourmalines, and Winter’s color-shift sapphire bezel over a blue opal dial. A gem-setting and dial-artistry showcase rather than a production reference.
