Specialist note

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present ref. 116599 TBR is an extremely well-preserved example of a diamond-set Rolex Daytona featuring the rare full baguette-cut diamond-set bezel. It is furthermore sold with the full set of accessoires.

The classic combination of the white gold case enhanced by diamonds of the highest quality is an extremely beautiful variant of the Daytona line. The present case is embellished with 36 baguette-cut diamonds, the hoods between the lugs with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds – clearly a watch that will not go unnoticed.

Stone-set Daytonas are among the rarest species of the celebrated model. The design with baguette-cut diamond bezel and diamond-set dial was introduced by Rolex in the 2000s, using the then new in-house caliber 4130 calibre, such as the present watch.
