The Rolex Daytona is inarguably one of the most iconic and sought-after timepieces in the world. While it had a lacklustre reception following its debut in 1963, it grew into itself in the following decades and has gone on to occupy the zenith of Rolex’s offering, with it boasting waiting lists long before any other models like we see today. However, not all Daytona references are born equal, with its platinum variants particularly desirable thanks to their truly exclusive nature. Offered only to VIP clients, platinum Daytona variants are what every Rolex collector hopes to own one day, and yet it doesn’t stop there. Offered here, we have the Daytona ref. 116576TBR, one of the rarest Daytona references in existence. Made exclusively for the Middle-Eastern market and offered only to VVIPs such as members and friends of the royal family, the ref. 116576TBR features an ice-blue dial with Easter-Arabic numerals and a diamond-set bezel that elevates this reference far beyond just about every other Daytona there is. An intensely rare and beautiful watch, the ref. 116576TBR has everything a Daytona could possibly offer and more.

Watch is in near-mint condition. Case exhibits light wear, including surface scratches visible on the bracelet and clasp, as well as on the case. Baguette diamond bezel shows light wear, with some superficial marks. Ice blue dial with Arabic indexes in mint condition, with no visible flaws or marks. The bracelet has 12 full and 3 half links, with 6 full length links removable. The bracelet has no stretch.

One of the rarest Daytonas ever made by Rolex, the 116576TBR, with its Eastern-Arabic numerals, is one of the most exclusive watches on the market today, even beyond just the realm of Rolex.
