A Rolex Rainbow Watch
More precisely, it’s the Rolex Rainbow Cosmograph Daytona in Everose. Priced at $96,900, it costs more than the limited edition Jaguar XJ50 V6 mentioned above, but who’s counting! This is a collector’s piece, a good long-term investment for her that’s bound to accrue in value over time as auction prices indicate. Rolex’s pink gold alloy, known as Everose, contains 76 percent gold and 2 percent platinum with copper held in by the platinum. She will love the 36 baguette-cut sapphires in Rainbow gradation, 11 baguette-cut sapphire hour markers, and 56 brilliant-cut diamonds.
