This configuration of the Daytona Ref. 116599, crafted in white gold with a blue sapphire-set bezel, is among the most coveted variants of the series. Its diamond pavé dial with sapphire hour markers produces exceptional brilliance, enhanced by the diamond-set lugs and refined blue alligator strap.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116599 epitomizes the perfect balance between haute horlogerie and high jewelry craftsmanship. Produced in 2001, it belongs to the early generation of Daytonas powered by Rolex’s in-house calibre 4130, a benchmark in precision and reliability.

The 40 mm white gold case frames a dazzling diamond pavé dial with blue sapphire hour markers and silvered chronograph counters. The bezel, set with 36 baguette-cut sapphires, creates a striking contrast that continues with the blue alligator strap. Diamond-set lugs lend an additional touch of luxury, while the white gold deployant clasp completes the composition with understated refinement.

Accompanied by its original Rolex guarantee dated November 8 and retailed by Dubail in Paris, this rare Daytona stands as an emblem of Rolex’s ability to merge technical excellence with timeless aesthetic sophistication.
