Lot Essay

Iconic and beloved by collectors, the Rolex Daytona 'Beach' watches have become a contemporary classics thanks to their vibrant colors and jovial aesthetics- a wonderful step away from the traditional, sports tool-watch manufacturer.

Unknown to many astute collectors, the present watch is an extremely rare and lovely example of the Daytona 'Beach' that is further enhanced with baguette diamonds in the bezel, and designated as reference 116589. This tasteful design element adds a marvelous layer of glamour and pop to the timepiece, further complementing the mother of pearl dial.

All other parts of the timepiece remain faithful to the original Daytona 'Beach' design, such as its availability in four colors: green, blue, pink, and yellow with subsequent dials made of chrysoprase, turquoise, and two shades of mother-of-pearl. The dials were fitted with color-matching lizard straps, enhancing their unusual and rare beauty. These watches truly emphasize Rolex's ability to display signs of eccentricity and were instant classics, making them some of the most collectible modern iterations of the Daytona.
