Daytona 'Eye of the Tiger'

Ref. 116598TBR · 18k Yellow Gold with Diamond-Set Bezel (Baguette & Brilliant-Cut) and Diamond-Set Lug Elements

The 116598TBR "Eye of the Tiger" represents one of Rolex's most theatrically gem-set Daytonas, pairing a 40 mm 18k yellow gold case with a factory-executed tiger-motif dial in black lacquer and champagne gold, accented throughout with pavé-set brilliant-cut diamonds. The bezel is set with a continuous ring of baguette and square-cut diamonds, while diamond-set lug elements further elevate the piece beyond standard jewellery-sport watch conventions. Released as part of Rolex's high-jewellery Daytona expressions, the reference commands rare desirability at the intersection of bold design and precious-metal complication.
