Among Rolex’s rich chronograph history, the adornment of precious stones has remained a rarity, with only a handful of highly coveted models such as the mythical references 6270 and 6269 being factory-gem-set. However, with the rise of the automatic Daytona, Rolex gradually introduced more elaborate and lavish gemstone-set variations, reflecting evolving market preferences. The present Rolex Daytona Ref. 116588TBR is undoubtedly one of the boldest and most visually striking Daytona models in recent years. This 40 mm masterpiece in 18k yellow gold is based on the Daytona reference 116 518, yet it undergoes a spectacular transformation. The traditional Cerachrom bezel has been replaced with a dazzling array of 34 trapeze-cut diamonds, all meticulously invisibly set. The dial is a true showstopper, earning its famous nickname “Eye of the Tiger” within the Rolex collecting community. The black lacquered surface is adorned with an applied 18k yellow gold and diamond-set wavy pattern, evoking the bold and mesmerizing gaze of a wild feline from the Savannah. This intricately designed motif, set with brilliant-cut diamonds, creates an exceptional interplay of depth, contrast, and brilliance, making it one of the most unique dials ever introduced in the Daytona collection. Presented in outstanding condition, this timepiece is accompanied by its full set, composed of box and papers. An audacious and highly exclusive creation, this Rolex Daytona “Eye of the Tiger” stands as one of the most extravagant and breathtaking Daytona models ever produced.
