The Rolex Daytona ‘Eye of the Tiger’ 116588TBR is an extraordinary and highly exclusive version of the iconic Rolex Daytona, a watch renowned for its precision, performance, and status as a symbol of luxury sports watches. The 116588TBR, often referred to as the ‘Eye of the Tiger’ due to its striking design, features a yellow gold case, a mesmerizing Tiger’s Eye dial, and diamond hour markers, creating a perfect combination of opulence, sportiness, and sophistication. This model is a true showpiece, often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for its rarity and bold aesthetics.
Case and Design
The Rolex Daytona 116588TBR is housed in a 40mm 18K yellow gold case, offering a brilliant and radiant appearance. The yellow gold finish enhances the watch’s luxury status, radiating warmth and timeless elegance. The polished and brushed finishes on the case, bezel, and bracelet provide a sophisticated contrast, adding dimension and texture to the watch’s design. The high-polished case reflects light beautifully, making the watch stand out on the wrist.
One of the defining characteristics of the Daytona 116588TBR is its fixed bezel, which is set with 36 diamonds, adding a dazzling touch of luxury. The diamond-set bezel accentuates the opulence of the timepiece while maintaining a sporty edge. The screw-down case back ensures water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for everyday use and some water-based activities, though this watch is more often worn as a statement piece than for active sports.
The screw-down crown and pushers are securely designed, reflecting Rolex’s commitment to durability and precision, ensuring that the watch remains functional even under challenging conditions.
Dial and Features
The dial of the Rolex Daytona 116588TBR is what truly makes this watch extraordinary. The Tiger’s Eye dial is a rare and exotic material known for its captivating, shifting golden-brown hues. This dial features a natural, banded pattern that seems to change in color and texture depending on the angle of the light, offering a unique and dynamic visual experience every time you look at it. The rich, earthy tones of the Tiger’s Eye complement the yellow gold case, creating a warm and luxurious aesthetic.
The dial is completed with diamond hour markers at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock, which are surrounded by polished gold hour markers at the other positions. The diamonds add a touch of glamour and elevate the overall look of the watch, enhancing its elegance without overshadowing the natural beauty of the Tiger’s Eye.
The Daytona’s signature sub-dials are positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock to measure the chronograph functions. The sub-dials are black with white accents, ensuring legibility and providing a sharp contrast against the warm tones of the main dial. These sub-dials are designed for the chronograph and minutes functions, adding both style and functionality to the watch. The central hands are made of 18K yellow gold and are polished to match the case, while the luminous coating on the hour and minute hands ensures visibility in low-light conditions.
The Rolex logo at 12 o’clock and the “Daytona” name below it maintain the clean, classic look of this iconic chronograph, reinforcing the brand’s prestigious heritage.
Movement
The Rolex Daytona 116588TBR is powered by the legendary Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding chronograph movement that is known for its precision, reliability, and advanced features. This movement is a masterpiece of engineering, with 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph) and a power reserve of 72 hours, meaning the watch will continue to run even when not worn for several days.
The Caliber 4130 is designed with a vertical clutch and a chronograph escapement, making it highly efficient and precise in its timekeeping and timing functions. The movement also boasts superior shock resistance, precision chronometer certification, and reliability. Rolex has engineered this movement to be robust and capable of handling the demands of motorsports, for which the Daytona was originally created.
The movement’s finishing is highly detailed, with Côtes de Genève decorations, perlage, and blue screws, and it can be admired through the transparent sapphire case back, which is a special feature of the Daytona models. The movement is powered by the central rotor, which is wound automatically as the watch is worn, ensuring the chronograph remains powered.
Strap
The Rolex Daytona 116588TBR comes with a 18K yellow gold bracelet, designed for both comfort and durability. The Oyster bracelet is composed of solid links with a combination of polished and satin finishes, reflecting the watch’s elegant yet sporty nature. The bracelet is equipped with Rolex’s patented Easylink extension system, which allows the wearer to adjust the bracelet length by up to 5mm for added comfort.
The clasp is the robust Oysterlock clasp, which ensures a secure and tight fit on the wrist. The Oyster bracelet is highly durable and designed to withstand everyday wear while retaining its luxurious aesthetic.
