Footnotes
Born from the Cosmograph Daytona's storied lineage, launched in 1963 as the ultimate tool watch for Le Mans racers, the reference 116599RBR elevates this icon into a pinnacle of opulent Haute Horlogerie, debuting in the early 2000s as Rolex's diamond-encrusted ode to speed and sparkle. Crafted for those who demand chronometric precision wrapped in extravagance, this white gold masterpiece reinterprets the tachymetric bezel with 36 baguette-cut diamonds, while 48 additional diamonds pave the case flanks for unbroken luminescence. It cannot be overstated that Rolex, beyond being considered one of the greatest watchmakers globally, is also considered one of the greatest in terms of gem-setting.
Encased in a 40mm 18K white gold oyster case, the 116599RBR houses Rolex's in-house Caliber 4130, a self-winding chronograph with 44 jewels, column-wheel actuation, and a 72-hour power reserve, beating at 28,800 vph for unflagging reliability. The pavé diamond dial with enamel Arabic numerals—frame sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, where small seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour counters track time's relentless march. Limited in production and coveted for its fusion of motorsport heritage and jewelry-grade artistry, the 116599RBR, once retailed near $100,000 USD, now commands premiums exceeding this at auction, a testament to Rolex's gem-setting prowess and the appeal of their "off catalogue" masterpieces.
