## Caption

Discover one of the most elusive and legendary Rolex timepieces ever created — a unique Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 16516, crafted in platinum and featuring a diamond-set mother-of-pearl dial.

This exceptional watch is the final and last-known example of an ultra-exclusive commission, specially ordered by a distinguished collector between 1998 and 1999 — at a time when Rolex had never officially produced a platinum Daytona.

This timepiece offers collectors a rare and unprecedented opportunity to acquire a cornerstone of Rolex craftsmanship. The Important Watches: Part I auction takes place at Sotheby's Geneva on 11 May.
