ROLEX TIGER

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Eye of the Tiger" (Ref. 116588TBR)

This is an ultra-luxury, avant-garde iteration of Rolex’s iconic racing chronograph. Officially released in 2019, this specific model departs from the Daytona’s traditional sporty roots, transforming it into a high-jewelry masterpiece.

Key Design & Material Features

• The "Eye of the Tiger" Dial: The standout feature is a tiger-print skeletonized dial. It combines black lacquer with diamond-set waves, creating a striking contrast against the 18k yellow gold chronograph subdials.

• Gem-Set Bezel: Replacing the traditional tachymeter scale is a bezel meticulously set with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds.

• The Case: Crafted from solid 18k yellow gold (40mm), featuring additional brilliant-cut diamonds on the lugs.

• Oysterflex Strap: To balance the heavy gem-setting, Rolex paired this watch with its high-performance Oysterflex rubber strap, which features a flexible titanium-nickel alloy blade core coated with high-density elastomer.

• Movement: Powered by the Rolex Calibre 4130, a high-precision, self-winding mechanical chronograph movement offering a 72-hour power reserve.
