The First-Ever Perfect Replica Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” 16599SAAEC Watches UK

One of the most valuable 1:1 replica Rolex watches UK to go on the block this auction season is the Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” 16599SAAEC. Part of Phillips’ Reloaded auction taking place on November 8, 2024, the Zenith-powered Daytona is the original “Rainbow”, having been produced in 1994, some 18 years before the serially-produced Daytona “Rainbow” was introduced.

Like all automatic Daytona models prior to 2000, this Daytona “Rainbow” is powered by the cal. 4030, which is a Zenith El Primero modified by Rolex. But this Daytona is unique in having a singular model reference of 16599 followed by the suffix “SAAEC”, short for saphir arc-en-ciel, French for “sapphire rainbow”.

A rainbow history
Though the Daytona “Rainbow” is perhaps the most famous gem-set top Rolex fake watches today, it took a while to catch on when it was introduced. It debuted as a regular production model in 2012 with the Daytona ref. 116598RBOW in yellow gold and ref. 116599RBOW in white gold.

At launch the Daytona “Rainbow” was not the object of frenzied desire as it is now, but by 2018 it was sought after. And that year best Rolex clone watches debuted the Daytona ref. 116595RBOW in Everose gold that boasted the upgrade of baguette-cut rainbow indices.

The facelift was also applied to the yellow and white gold versions, both of which now sport baguette-cut rainbow indices as well. As with the first generation model, variants with gem-set dials and bracelets also exist.

But the Daytona was not the first Rolex Oyster with “rainbow” treatment. That distinction likely goes to the Day-Date dating to the 1980s.

The Day-Date refs. 18058, 18059, and 18188 are known with rainbow gemstones, each executed differently but instantly recognisable with the multi-hued bezel.

The original Daytona “Rainbow”
Though the Daytona “Rainbow” ref. 16599SAAEC is being sold publicly for the first time now, it has been known for some years now.

The best selling Rolex replica watches were originally sold in Saudi Arabia, before making its way to a collection in Dubai over a dozen years ago. The next owner was a gentleman who owned a famous collection of vintage watches and is the consignor of the watch.

The ref. 16599SAAEC is essentially a white gold high quality replica Rolex Daytona watches of the period with the addition of a bezel with rainbow-hued sapphires set in a graduated pattern.

Interestingly, the rainbow bezel differs from today’s 1:1 quality fake Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watches “Rainbow” because the colour graduation is inverted. On today’s models the greens are at three o’clock, while here they are at nine.

The rest of the Swiss fake Rolex watches are identical to the regular production model. This has the familiar white gold case with a hood in-between the lugs to create an integrated appearance for the leather strap, which was likely a glossy maroon when the Rolex watches were first sold.

Likewise, dial is identical to that of the standard version of the ref. 16599. It’s paved with brilliant-cut diamonds and has brilliant-cut sapphires for hour markers, along with minute numerals at the quarters.

With an estimate of over CHF3 million, the AAA+ copy Rolex watches “Rainbow” is lot 27 in Reloaded: The Rebirth of Mechanical Watchmaking, 1980-1999 on November 8, 2024 in Geneva at the Hotel President. For more, visit Phillips.com.

This Vintage Perfect Replica Rolex Day-Date Watches UK, With Ultra-Rare ‘Bark’ Design, Can Be Yours—But You Better Hurry

Over the last four years there has been a resurgence in interest for 18-karat yellow gold cheap replica Rolex watches. Much of that is due to fatigue over the long-running craze for steel tool watches, but it is also in part due to the rising value of gold (which shows no sign of slowing), rendering these once undesirable pieces increasingly worth collecting.

Add to that the fact that, in some niche and stylish circles, unusual bracelet treatments, gem-setting, and interesting dials are becoming increasingly appealing and you have a new wave of watch collecting emerging. Steel sports replica Rolex watches UK are still the bread and butter for most dealers, but as pockets of interest in more unusual timekeepers, often from younger and fashion-forward collectors, continue to rise we’re seeing some really fun pieces pop up on the market. Case in point: This 1980s top copy Rolex Day-Date watches in 18-karat yellow gold with a sapphire and diamond dial from Wind Vintage currently available exclusively on The Vault.

It wasn’t that long ago that dealers had a hard time unloading an all-gold gem-set piece. Eric Wind, the notable dealer and founder of Wind Vintage, says five years ago he would have sold this piece for around $15,000 to $18,000. The asking price today? $29,000. “It is very rare,” he tells Robb Report. “I think that was all clearly hand-done. Funnily enough, bark watches were not very desirable in the past. You know, even five to 10 years ago, they were very, very hard to sell. But, over the last three to five years, there’s been such an emergence and interest in jewelry and watches and work like that engraving and other kind of artistic forms that the watches took.” The style of engraving he is referring to on this Swiss fake Rolex Day-Date watches can be seen on the bezel and middle links of the bracelet that is referred to as “bark” for its rough tree-like appearance.

And while the bracelet is certainly a notable feature that will stand out in a sea of Submariners and Daytonas, the dial is also worth bragging about. Its diamond minutes track and sapphire hour markers are executed in what is known as a “string dial” because it looks like a string of pearls. “They’ve become very popular,” says Wind. “They were very expensive back in the 80s, just because of the cost of the stones, and there are just not many that exist on the planet.” Likewise, Wind says the canary yellow matte dial is not something he comes across often, having only seen a couple of others.

Part of what makes this watch so hard to find on the market is that pieces like this often didn’t survive past their ’80s heyday. “A lot of times these perfect replica Rolex watches were so undesirable that dealers would replace the bezel inserts and put on fluted inserts, or smooth bezels or fluted bezels and melt down the bracelets or polish the center link so they looked like a standard Day-Date. Those dealers should have learned that what goes around, always comes around. Now with these interesting clone Rolex watches for sale on the rise, they’ll become even harder to find.

UK Best Quality Replica Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116689 For Sale

The last watch on this list is the cheap fake Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116689. When the Yacht-Master II was unveiled in 2007, it was presented in a yellow gold version (ref. 116688) and a white gold version with a platinum bezel (ref. 116689). It’s the latter that is my pick for this list. Why did I pick this version? Because it maintains this special feature of combining a full platinum bezel with another metal, just like the steel-and-platinum luxury replica Rolex Yacht-Master ref. 16622 that I picked for the best Rolex super clone watches of the 1990s. I love this understated look when the materials are far from understated by nature.

The 1:1 fake Rolex Yacht-Master II. What to think of it? It’s a watch that has mostly lovers and haters. While I am not a “lover” per se, “hater” is also such a strong word. But I must admit that it is amongst my least favorite Rolex watches along with the current Air-King and the Sky-Dweller. What can I say?

I like my Rolex replica watches online clean and iconic, rather than big and loud. And a lot is going on with the 44mm Yacht-Master II dial. When the watch was introduced in 2007, Swiss made replica Rolex purists were not fans of it. It was big, loud, and featured its name on the bezel — everything that purists hated. However, it was more than that. The copy Rolex Yacht-Master II was developed to assist skippers in keeping track of time during the complicated starting sequence of a sailing regatta.

An interesting complication
Mike wrote an article about the AAA replica Rolex Yacht-Master II in his series “Wrist Game Or Crying Shame,” where he shines a more in-depth light on the watch and its functions. But the dial design is a result of the regatta countdown timer. This functionality allows the cheap copy watch to count backward from a specific starting point up to a maximum of 10 minutes. It’s a feature useful for sailing crews participating in a regatta, as the start of a race happens in stages. Additionally, the watch can correct the timer with a flyback/fly-forward function if it happens to fall out of sync with the official regatta reference timer. And lastly, the top replica Rolex features a mechanical memory, allowing you to reset back to the specified original countdown point at any time.

You get access to this functionality by the Ring Command Bezel directly connected to the Rolex caliber 4160. Essentially, the bezel serves as an on/off switch for the timer. Rotating the bezel 90 degrees allows you to access the timer, which is, in turn, set through the crown. Turning the bezel back into place locks the timer and activates the memory function. You can then operate the watch like a standard chronograph. The top pusher activates the start/stop functionality, and the bottom pusher operates the reset or the flyback/fly-forward functions. Swiss movement fake Rolex made this possible by heavily modifying the Caliber 4130 that was used and is still used for the Daytona. It operates at 28,800vph and has 42 jewels and a 72-hour power reserve. It’s an unusual movement with an interesting complication that really shows best quality replica Rolex’s technical skills.
Going below its list price
Is it also a useful complication? Most Rolex Yacht-Master II replica for men owners will not use its countdown regatta timer for its intended purposes. But neither do owners of a Submariner or a Daytona. The Yacht-Master II ref. 116689 is a luxury statement, first and foremost. Its 44mm white gold case and bracelet and the platinum bezel might give it a somewhat understated look compared to its full yellow gold brother, but it’s in no way a simple watch. Remarkably enough, the white-gold-and-platinum Rolex fake Paypal UK is more affordable than the full yellow gold version. The white gold ref. 116689 goes between roughly €30K and €50K, while the yellow gold ref. 116688 goes for prices between €40K and €55K. It makes the white gold exact copy Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116689 one of the very few Rolex sports watches that goes for less than its initial and current list price.
