Specialist note

One of the most impressive jeweled watches made by Rolex, ref. 116758 is a triumph of eclectic design. The deep black gloss dial is in staggering contrast with the glimmering gem-studded bezel, granting the piece a dramatic effect amplified by the generous proportions of the case. An archetypical eye-catcher, beyond its aesthetic appeal the rarity of this watch makes it destined to become a true collector's piece. The present example further impresses the navigated connoisseur with its nearly mint condition, still retaining its green sticker on the caseback.
