The present timepiece distinguishes itself not only for its pristine condition, with the case in virtually mint condition (still retaining the green sticker to the back), and the movement as well thanks to the Rolex service it underwent in 2014. The true collectability of the timepiece resides in the fact that, according to our researches, only one other 116748 left Rolex with the same kind of bezel, making this watch one of only two such pieces ever made. Beyond its incredible rarity, it has to be noted that the diamond and sapphire combination, compared with other chromatically louder solutions, grants the piece a somehow more subdued elegance that is rarely seen on jeweled timepieces.
