Rolex Cosmograph Daytona - Ref. 116599 - Factory Diamond-Set - 18K White Gold - Paved Diamond Dial & Baguette Diamond Bezel - Box & Papers 2008 - New-Like Condition

An exceptionally luxurious interpretation of the legendary Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, this Reference 116599 combines the unmistakable character of Rolex’s iconic chronograph with an extraordinary factory-set diamond configuration. This example is presented in new-like condition and is accompanied by its original Rolex box and papers, with the documentation dating to 2008 and issued by Bucherer Zürich. The combination of provenance, condition, precious metal and original factory gem-setting makes this a particularly desirable collector’s piece.

This Daytona is presented in a prestigious 18K white gold case, giving the watch a sophisticated and discreet appearance while providing the perfect setting for its extensive diamond decoration. The highlight of this Daytona is undoubtedly its spectacular pavé-set diamond dial, which is entirely illuminated by a field of meticulously set diamonds, creating an extraordinary play of light across the surface. Against this brilliant background, the black Roman numerals provide a dramatic contrast and give the dial a sophisticated, almost architectural appearance.

Surrounding the dial is an exceptional factory-set baguette diamond bezel. The precisely cut baguette diamonds create a clean, geometric frame and complement the pavé diamond dial beautifully. Their linear arrangement provides a sharp contrast to the brilliance of the pavé setting, giving the watch a refined and highly sophisticated appearance.

Further enhancing the exclusivity of this example are the diamond-set strap lugs, extending the factory gem-setting from the case onto the interface with the strap. The watch is fitted to a black crocodile leather strap, providing a deep, elegant contrast to the brilliance of the diamonds and white gold. It is completed by the original Rolex deployment clasp, maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the original configuration.

The watch comes with its original Rolex box and papers, with the papers dating from 2008 and originating from Bucherer Zürich.

Its new-like condition is particularly appealing for collectors, preserving the exceptional visual impact of the diamond setting and the sharp presence of the white-gold case.

This watch is offered with:

- Official Rolex warranty card - bucherer Zurich, 2008

- Original Rolex box

- Green Rolex leather card holder

"Embellished completely with a pavé-set diamond dial, lugs and bezel, the present reference 116599 is a very glamorous example of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, extremely eye-catching with its stylized Roman numerals."
