By the 2000s, Rolex were embellishing their sports watches with gemstones to cater to elite clients, including royalty and industrial merchants. The Cosmograph Daytona Ref:116599TBR exemplifies this fusion of technical performance and high jewellery, featuring rare diamond-set hooded lugs - a distinctive variation on the classic Daytona design.
The 116599TBR is set with 36 baguette-cut diamonds to the bezel complimented by 48 brilliant-cut diamonds to the lugs. Adding the final sparkle is the pavé set dial.
