Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116588TBR – “Eye of the Tiger”
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116588TBR “Eye of the Tiger” is a true embodiment of horological excellence, blending haute joaillerie artistry with Rolex’s renowned chronograph engineering. First introduced at Baselworld 2019, this masterpiece commands attention with its rare gem-setting, bold aesthetics, and exceptional technical performance.
Housed in a 40 mm 18K yellow gold Oyster case, the watch showcases a dazzling diamond-paved dial with a distinctive “tiger-stripe” motif, complemented by champagne-gold sub-dials with black lacquered edges. Eight diamond-set hour markers and applied Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock add balance and sophistication, making it both visually striking and elegantly refined.
The bezel features 36 trapeze-cut diamonds, meticulously set to maximize brilliance and symmetry, exemplifying Rolex’s unparalleled gem-setting craftsmanship. Paired with a black Oysterflex bracelet reinforced with a flexible metal blade, the watch delivers supreme comfort while retaining its sporty essence. The 18K yellow gold Oysterlock clasp with Easylink extension ensures a secure and adjustable fit.
Inside beats the Rolex Caliber 4130, an automatic chronograph movement known for its precision, featuring a vertical clutch and column wheel for flawless chronograph operation. With a 72-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 100 meters, it is as technically robust as it is luxurious.
