Rolex’s gem-setting tradition harkens back to the mid-20th century. Fast-forward to 2017, Rolex made a splash again at Baselworld by releasing the Yacht-Master reference 116695SATS which features a beautifully executed gem-set bezel. By all means an attention-grabber, the watch has a bidirectional rotating bezel set with 38 sapphires (blue, orange, yellow, and pink), 8 tsavorites (the green gems), and 1 diamond at 12 o’clock. The uniformity of the gems in respective hue and shape is fantastic to behold, and even the most discerning afcionados would be satisfed if they were to fnd one of these watches on their wrist. Adding a level of playfulness and confdence, the stones are absolutely perfect. The watch is dubbed as “Haribo”, while collectors in Asia afectionately call it “Candy” as the colorful gemstones resemble the tonalities of candies. Today, models like the reference 116695SATS are fercely sought afer by collectors, and it can take years for buyers to be on the waiting list. Fresh to the market, this watch is also the frst time to appear at auction. Complimented by its original guarantee and box, this lot ofers a now-or-never opportunity for collectors to literally skip the line, and buy one of the hottest timepiece in the market.
