Concluding Comment
This video showcases the Rolex Daytona 116598 “Tiger” – an extremely rare VIP hidden style that is fully paved with diamonds, from the case and strap to the tiger‑pattern dial. The modified version uses a solid 18K gold case and strap (developed from 3C original data), achieving the correct weight of 210.2 grams. The diamonds are CVD lab‑grown (cost‑effective, visually identical to natural), set with a borderless technique on the bezel and distinct, uniform pavé on the lugs and strap. The dial mimics the tiger face with correct fonts and sunburst effect, and the hands match the genuine (black sub‑dial hands, gold main hands). The crown and buckle are well finished, with the strap polished (correct for this model, not brushed). Precious metal hallmarks (AU750, dog head, scale, crown) are deeply and precisely engraved.
Strengths:
- Solid 18K gold – correct weight (210.2g), material, and color.
- Full diamond pavé – case, bezel, lugs, strap, and dial. Borderless bezel setting and uniform stone arrangement are high‑quality.
- Tiger dial – accurate pattern, fonts, sunburst, and hand colors.
- Crown and buckle details – inverted triangle polishing, 3D crown, oval + five‑point logo, polished strap finish.
- Deep, clear hallmarks – AU750, dog head, scale, crown on caseback and inside buckle – essential for a gold case.
Final verdict: The modified 116598 Tiger Daytona is a showstopper for serious collectors who want a diamond‑paved, solid gold Rolex that is virtually impossible to obtain in its genuine form (VIP hidden style, extremely rare). The craftsmanship – from the weight (210.2g) and gold case to the borderless diamond setting and accurate tiger dial – is top‑tier. The use of CVD diamonds keeps the cost manageable compared to natural stones, while delivering the same visual impact. For the buyer with a substantial budget who understands that this is an unauthorized replica but values the solid gold construction, full diamond pavé, and iconic Tiger design, this watch offers a “spend less, wear a multi‑million‑dollar VIP Rolex” experience. As always, independent verification of gold purity (XRF) and diamond quality is recommended. Bozwatch’s emphasis on weight, hallmarks, borderless setting, and polished strap provides a solid checklist. This is the ultimate “final destination” Daytona for those who dare to be different.
Hello everyone, this is Bozwatch.
Every watch is a work of art, a testament to time, and I am a fanatic believer in them. I also hope that watch enthusiasts can avoid pitfalls and find their own “Bole” (discerning patron).
Today, I bring you a Daytona from Rolex’s VIP hidden style. Its model is 116598. We commonly call it the Tiger Daytona. This watch is a VIP hidden style – very rare on the secondary market. But it is loved by many watch enthusiasts because it represents the final destination of Rolex and is a top‑level product.
This watch was developed using 3C original data. We made a solid 18K gold case and strap, and the entire watch is fully set with diamonds. See? Whether on the case or on the strap, it is fully paved with diamonds.
After developing with original data, we can make an 18K gold watch that achieves the same material, same weight, and same color as the original. As long as you don’t open the caseback or send it to a professional organization for testing, when you wear it out, this watch can save you a lot of money.
As usual, let me weigh it for you. How much does the entire watch weigh? You can see on the scale – 210.2 grams. This weight is completely consistent with the original.
The surface accessories of this watch – the dial, hands, and bezel – are all custom parts for the Tiger Daytona. Why is it called “Tiger Daytona”? Because of its tiger‑pattern dial. The dial is also fully set with diamonds. Currently, the diamonds are CVD lab‑grown cultured diamonds – to the naked eye, they are indistinguishable from natural diamonds. Using cultured diamonds makes this gold watch very cost‑effective.
The dial resembles a tiger’s face. Whether it’s the fonts or the sunburst effect, everything is completely consistent with the original. In the three‑eye chronograph sub‑dials, the hands are black – the hour, minute, and large chronograph seconds hands are gold. These also perfectly match the genuine.
Look at the bezel – it is a large square bezel. The diamonds are set using a borderless setting technique – each diamond is clearly separated and sparkles beautifully under light. Including the lugs and the diamonds on the strap – this craftsmanship is achieved through CNC original‑data development.
Let me show you some close‑up shots. Our diamonds – for example, on the lugs – are very, very uniform. The diamonds on the strap are also distinct and very nice. Including the side of the lugs – the diamond setting there is also perfectly executed.
Look at the crown – the inverted triangle polishing is very clear. This craftsmanship is a perfect match. The crown is very three‑dimensional. The diamond setting on the side lugs is also excellent. The diamonds on the strap – each one is distinct, very beautiful.
The diamond setting on the buckle is also outstanding. The crown logo on the buckle is very clear – oval at the bottom, separated into five points at the top. On the strap, it has been polished. For regular Daytonas, the straps are brushed. But this VIP hidden model is full of diamonds, so it is polished to be more like the original – closer to the genuine.
Now look at the precious metal engravings inside. For a good gold watch product, the engravings are very, very close to the original. Let me show you a close‑up. Whether it’s the hallmark or the English letters, everything is completely consistent with the genuine. The precious metal engravings – the dog head, the scale – are very clear. That’s the craftsmanship a good gold product requires. Do you understand?
Including the engravings on the caseback – AU750, the dog head, the crown, and the scale – the craftsmanship of a good gold product is very, very precise. Let me zoom in further – you can see the dog head, the crown, the scale – these precious metal hallmarks. With this level of craftsmanship, I am confident that when you wear it out, this watch will save you a lot of money.
This is the full diamond Daytona 116598 – upgraded with 18K solid gold and set with cultured diamonds. If you like this VIP hidden style Tiger Daytona, you can also contact Bozwatch.
