Rolex will officially auction four unique Cosmograph Daytona timepieces inspired by the four seasons. The rare one-off watch collection will be sold via Phillips in London, with proceeds benefiting the Roger Federer Foundation and Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmental organization, Re:Wild.
Constructed in 18-karat yellow gold, Everose gold, white gold, and 950 platinum, each timepiece represents a season through distinct dials and gem settings. The “Spring” model features a green chrysoprase dial, purple diamond hour markers, and a bezel set with 36 trapeze-cut purple sapphires. “Summer” showcases a turquoise dial with pink sapphires, while “Autumn” presents a mustard-colored mookaite dial framed by green tourmalines. The “Winter” iteration rounds out the set with a blue opal dial accented by a blue-to-fuchsia gradient sapphire bezel.
Each watch includes 54 brilliant-cut diamonds across the lugs alongside custom gemstone hour markers. Estimated at approximately 4 million CHF (around $5 million USD) per piece according to Hodinkee, the charitable sale is overseen by auction house Phillips.
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Four Seasons” collection will be auctioned through Phillips in London on September 28, 2026.
