This beautiful masterpiece ref.116598RBOW was released in 2012. With elegant yellow gold case, the bezel is set with 36 baguette-cut sapphires in a rainbow gradation to replace its classical tachymeter and the varied colours bring fasinating style to the wearers. Whilst the mid-case is set with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds, the dial is black lacquer in contrast with the sub-dials of the chronograph which are rendered in “Gold Crystals” to give it a shimmering finish, making this Daytona look more stunning than other series.Decorated with diamonds and fancy-coloured sapphires, the watch still features the unique characteristics and craftsmanship of a standard Daytona. The calibre 4130 hand-wound movement has a power reserve of up to 72 hours. The chronograph is engaged by a mechanism with a column wheel and vertical clutch, providing an instant and extremely precise start. The oscillator, the true heart of the watch, has a blue Parachrom hairspring manufactured by Rolex in an exclusive paramagnetic alloy. Insensitive to magnetic fields, the Parachrom hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations and remains up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. In addition, the Cosmograph Daytona’s Oyster durable case is waterproof and capable of resisting at least 100 metres of water pressure.This irresistible charm Rolex Daytona ref. 116598RBOW is unique and gorgeous. This 40mm size watch is not overstated and the market supply of the series is very rare and has been discontinued. Nowadays, the auction price of this series in the auction house has been higher annually, and it has been highly sought-after by Rolex fans.
