Specialist note


The present ref. 116589 is an extremely well-preserved example of a Rolex Diamond Daytona, the overall appeal enhanced by the black lacquered dial. The classic combination of the white gold case and black lacquered dial enhanced by diamond-set numerals is one of the most beautiful variants ever created for the Daytona line.

The present example pushes the boundaries of both rarity and attractiveness even further with the addition of the baguette-cut diamond-set bezel.

Only a handful of this highly appealing Daytona model are thought to have been made and very few have appeared in public, rendering the present example a trophy for the aficionado of rare timepieces.
