Specialist note

Launched in the early 2000s, reference 116599 SA is a fine and very attractive example of Rolex’s jewelled Daytona models. These well-known models set with precious stones served an elite clientele and aimed to offer them designs which were classic yet elegant. As much as they may appear as anachronisms, these masterpieces must be regarded as a superb symbiosis of two worlds, sport and elegance.

The case is embellished with 48 baguette-cut diamonds and 12 baguette-cut sapphires, the hoods between the lugs with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds – clearly a watch that will not go unnoticed.
