Gem-setting is much more than just a form of accessorizing a timepiece, but an art form requiring extraordinary craftsmanship and artistry. Behind each individual hand-set bedazzled timepieces, each gemstone is set with specific techniques and methods to execute precise and skillful cutting, polishing and setting, as these natural gemstones all have an alternating natural compound possessing a varying hardness. Offered in attractive condition and without reserve, the present Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 11659912SA in white gold is a dazzling example featuring a stunning full pavé-set diamond dial with blue Arabic numerals, lavishly complementing the baguette-cut diamonds and sapphires on the bezel and diamond-set endlinks.
