Lot Essay

The present reference 116598SACO is a lustrous Rolex Daytona with diamond and yellow sapphire-set gemstones. It is furthermore crafted from solid gold and is 'full set' with its original accessories. Introduced at the 2004 Basel Fair, the gold Daytona Chronograph reference 116598SACO immediately had the horology world talking about it thanks to its outlandish design.

With diamond hour markers on the dial, a leopard print background, echoed on the strap, the bezel is encrusted with 36 square-cut yellow sapphires, the hoods between the lugs are encrusted with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds and with 8 diamond-set numerals. Once again Rolex manages to reinvent the rules of contemporary horology.
