Manufacturer: Rolex;Year: 1994;Reference No: 16568;Movement No: 92211;Case No: W176’611;Model Name: Cosmograph Daytona;Material: 18k yellow gold;Calibre: Automatic, cal. 4030, 31 jewels;Bracelet/Strap: Rolex 18k yellow gold Oyster, reference 78398, max. length 210mm;Clasp/Buckle: 18k yellow gold twinlock deployant clasp;Dimensions: 39mm diameter;Accessories: Accompanied by original presentation box, cotton cloth, leather pouch, booklet and guarantee confirming the watch was purchased from Orologeria Pisa in Milan on April 21, 1995.;Catalogue Essay;One of the most impressive features of the reference 16568 is the exquisite baguette-cut diamond-set bezel superbly crafted by Rolex. Accordingly, the Cosmograph Daytona has always been considered a ‘technical’ watch, traditionally cased in stainless steel. The very first gemset Daytona models – references 6269 and 6270 – were produced in extremely few examples during the 1980s. For their first self-winding Daytona models fitted with the famed Zenith El-Primero based caliber 4030, Rolex produced a very limited number with baguette cut diamond bezels, including the seldom seen reference 16568. Its bezel has fixed, heavy gold bars in line with the dial’s gem-set hour markers, acting as an hour chapter, while giving it a versatile and masculine appeal. The pavé diamond-set dial is adorned with emerald set hour markers and the result is sublime, making it a truly iconic variant of the classic Daytona. The case is in superb, original condition, hardly worn, with all of its original factory finishing, curves, and crisp edges intact. Although this model is barely 20 years old, it has already obtained a cult status amongst collectors and, as with the now-discontinued caliber 4030, offers a vintage feel. Further enhanced by its original presentation box, leather wallet, booklet and punched guarantee, it is perhaps the finest and most complete examples to appear on the market.
