DAYTONA MODEL, REF. 116599, CASE NO. L06N8727, CIRCA 2010

Reference 116599RU, which was introduced in the early 2000s, is a beautiful and very appealing example of one of Rolex's jewelled Daytona models. These gem-set creations, which were made for a select clientele, offer timepieces that are both bold and sophisticated, perfectly balancing sportiness and refinement. Although they might appear to be a unique take on a tool watch, they should be viewed as a brilliant fusion of high jewelry and performance.

The present example is extravagantly adorned, with 32 baguette-cut diamonds and 4 baguette-cut rubies embellishing the case and an additional 48 brilliant-cut diamonds glistening on the hoods between the lugs, forming a stunning gemstone display that ensures the watch will never go unnoticed.
