When Rolex introduced their new Daytona ref. 116500 series with the firm’s first in-house cal. 4130, many variations of the famed model were produced ranging from stainless steel to gold to gem-set examples and were offered with an array of dial options. While the Daytona maybe one of the hottest timepieces in the market, it is certainly one of the most beloved wristwatches ever made, with each variation carrying their own unique charm.

Known for their expertise in manufacturing some of the most important professional tools watches throughout the course of its history, Rolex were also synonymously recognized for their extravagant bedazzled pieces as it gave their iconic timepieces a new level of flare and playfulness. Coming in all sorts of different colors, shape and material, these rare and desirable pieces are seeing a spotlight in the market today with collectors growing their appetite for them.

The present example is a rare treat. Encased in white gold, it is blessed with an exquisitely executed baguette-cut diamond and ruby bezel paired harmoniously with diamond-set hoods on each side of the lugs, giving the timepiece a slightly larger presence on the wrist. While most examples of the ref. 116599 either feature a pave diamond-set dial with Roman numerals, the present example features a classic glossy black racing dial with diamond-set indexes. Perfect for those who love a bit of dazzle but perhaps do not want to overdo it, the present ref. 1165994RU is a perfect choice.

Offered in excellent overall condition, the present timepiece from circa 2014 is complete with its full set of accessories.
