The present watch shares the same legendary prestige of its siblings in the Daytona collection, but it sets itself apart as one of Rolex’s rarest pieces that embodies masterful watchmaking in a more flamboyant and unique fashion. Aptly nicknamed “Eye of the Tiger”, exotic is a word one might use to describe its appearance. The case and bracelet are constructed in hefty yellow gold, and the dial is decorated with wild swirls of black lacquer and contrastingly swathed with pave-set diamond patterns. Ingeniously, the subdials are also in champagne colour and encircled with black accents, a choice that adapts the iconic triple sub dials of the Daytona as the “eyes” of the tiger. The icing on the cake would be the amazing baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel and even the crown guards, lugs, and hour markers are also embellished in diamonds.


Very fancy looking and extremely rare to the market, the watch is an extravagant showcase of Rolex’s artisanship and esteem that marks one of the most sought-after modern Daytona references.
