Rolex Daytona 116568BR

Rolex Daytona

With its instantly recognisable case and contrasting chronograph dial, few watches offer the level of pedigree and desirability as the Rolex Daytona. Already a much-loved piece, this off-catalogue Daytona reference 116568BR has become particularly notable for its unique factory-set baguette diamond bezel. This version is crafted in 18K yellow gold and is specified with an exotic mother of pearl dial. This dark-purple Tahitian mother-of-pear dial is finished with diamond-dot hour markers and applied yellow gold arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. Despite its striking aesthetic, the watch retains the Daytona’s signature three-chronograph sub-dials, which are meticulously crafted in Rolex's proprietary Crystal Gold and boast a textured surface reminiscent of meteorite. The standard engraved tachymeter is replaced by a factory-set baguette diamond bezel, introducing a refined, luxurious element to the traditionally motorsport-inspired design. The screw-down crown and pushers help to deliver 100m of water resistance, providing versatility rarely seen in chronographs from other manufacturers. Housed inside the 100m waterproof case is the robust and reliable calibre 4130 movement, which boasts a 72-hour power reserve.
