The 116588SACO is one of Rolex’s most bold colour options, with its bright orange sapphire bezel contrasting against a black dial and a yellow gold case. The vibrant orange hue around the bezel represents a true departure from Rolex’s typically conservative colour scheme and gives this model a appearance that is hard to ignore when worn on the wrist. The super clone edition reproduces the orange sapphire and yellow gold combination closely enough to please anyone who is looking for the 116588SACO style.
The watch features the right 40mm yellow gold case, incorporating a distinctive orange sapphire-set bezel in place of the usual tachymeter scale so that it acts as much as a statement piece as it does a functional chronograph. It is actually quite difficult to carry out a good sapphire stone setting, and this replica manages the colour saturation and the positioning of the stones in a convincing way, preventing the pale or excessively glassy appearance that is typical of lower quality versions. The finishing of the case along the lugs and on the crown guards remains sharp, the yellow gold surfaces retaining a rich and uniform shade rather than appearing flat or brassy.
The glossy black dial offers a clean and high-contrast background which makes the orange bezel stand out, and this replica maintains the shiny black finish without any dullness that might diminish the overall appearance. The yellow gold hour markers and chronograph hands are set on the dial with good contrast, matching the case colour while at the same time ensuring easy readability. The chronograph subdials retain the proper Daytona arrangement and remain functional despite the striking exterior design.
The Oyster bracelet has the same yellow gold finish as the case, featuring a three-link design with proper proportions and a folding Oysterlock clasp which closes firmly and maintains its shape from link to link. Because of its solid link construction the bracelet has a real weight when worn on the wrist, giving it the solid feel of an authentic piece rather than a hollow one. The case thickness and the curvature of the lugs ensure that it remains flat and well balanced even though it has the extra weight from the gemstone bezel.
If you are a collector looking for a Daytona that truly sets itself apart from the rest, this replica of the Rolex Daytona 116588SACO offers a realistic fiery orange sapphire and yellow gold combination. The bright bezel colour, the glossy black dial, and the yellow gold case all combine to create that strong and easily recognised appearance which this model is famous for.
