Rolex, Daytona, 2002, 116589, White Gold

A bold and luxurious interpretation of an icon, this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116589 brings high jewelry artistry into the world of legendary chronographs. Crafted in 18k white gold, it pairs the Daytona’s unmistakable sporty architecture with exceptionally rare and refined decorative elements.

The bezel is set with two concentric rows of brilliant-cut diamonds, forming a radiant frame that enhances the crisp lines of the case. The dial is equally captivating: executed in rare pink mother-of-pearl, its soft iridescence is complemented by diamond hour markers, creating a refined interplay of color and brilliance against the cool tone of white gold.

Inside beats Rolex’s reliable self-winding chronograph movement, ensuring that beneath its jewel-like appearance, the watch remains a true performance timepiece.

Exceptionally rare — with only a handful of examples seen publicly — this configuration of the 116589 is seldom encountered. The present watch is preserved in excellent condition, with strong case definition and lively stones throughout. Remarkably, the original factory sticker remains on the caseback, a detail especially appreciated by collectors.

It is offered complete with its original box and warranty.
