Rolex has unveiled four unique Cosmograph Daytona watches, each inspired by one of the four seasons and created as part of the brand’s Perpetual Planet Initiative. The timepieces will be auctioned by Phillips in London later this month, with proceeds supporting the Federer Foundation, founded by Roger Federer, and Re:wild, co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The four watches offer a rare expression of Rolex’s gem-setting expertise, using distinct combinations of colour, gemstones and finishes to evoke the atmosphere of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Together, they bring precision, creativity and beauty into a collection that reflects the natural cycle of time and life.
Four Exclusive Timepieces
More than exceptional examples of watchmaking, however, the four Cosmograph Daytona watches have been created with a purpose that extends well beyond their rarity. Sold across four individual lots, proceeds will benefit two organisations with globally recognised names behind them.
The Federer Foundation, founded by Roger Federer, champions early and foundational learning for children across Southern Africa and Switzerland, while Re:wild, co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio, works to protect and restore wild ecosystems worldwide.
Together, the two organisations reflect the broader ambitions of Rolex’s Perpetual Planet Initiative, bringing support for future generations and protection of the natural world into the same conversation. Through the initiative, Rolex supports organisations and projects working across exploration, environmental conservation, ocean protection and wilderness preservation.
“True excellence is measured not only by the quality of our products, but also by the positive impact we can have on the world,” says Jean-Frédéric Dufour, CEO of Rolex SA. It is a sentiment embodied by the four watches, which bring the house’s watchmaking and gem-setting expertise into support of causes centred on nature, education and future generations.
The auction will take place in London on Monday, 28 September 2026.
