First introduced in 1963, the Daytona was designed for the demands of professional racing drivers and was named after the famous racing site Daytona, Florida. In 2000, Rolex started a new line of luxurious Daytona watches for discerning collectors. The varying configurations of case material, use of precious stones and dial options continue to expand to this day. The current lot is presented in solid platinum with a pave diamond set dial and 36 baguette diamonds to the bezel. Coupled with the aqua blue subsidiary dials it really is the epitome of 'ice'. The 116576TBR is also powered by the in-house calibre 4130. This calibre has fewer components compared to other chronographs making it more reliable and offers additional space for a mainspring to increase the power reserve from 50 hours to 72 hours.
