The Rolex Daytona Cosmograph collection with calibre 4130, was finally launched during the Baseworld exhibition in the month of March 2000. All of the new models of the new 116500 series had a diameter of 40 mm and were slightly thinner than the previous versions. The bracelet and the clasp of these Rolex watches were also improved by introducing a much more solid construction.
In 2011 Rolex launched the Daytona reference 11615 in a pink gold case with a monobloc ceramic bezeled ivory chocolate dial. The same ceramic bezel as its predecessor, but combined with an unusual ice blue dial with chestnut brown counters. This particular watch was used in 2013 to commemorate Fifty Year Anniversary since the launch of its most celebrated watch.
