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 an exceptional brilliance, enhanced by the diamond-set lugs and refined blue alligator strap.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116599 in white gold with a blue sapphire bezel 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.
