Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116520 SS Custom Diamond-Set
Description
We have done after diamond treatment on a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 16520 SS.
The entire surface of the stainless steel Daytona is covered with diamonds, making it a full-diamond watch.
The old model Daytona, like other Rolexes, has a hollow belt, which makes it difficult to process diamonds, but our skilled craftsmen have made it possible to create the setting you see here.
The bezel, case, and lugs are also fully covered with diamonds, and since the diamond dial is made from the dial itself, it is possible to have everything but the graph covered with diamonds.

*Each Coral creation is unique. As a result, size, carat weight and stone qualities can vary slightly from one creation to another.
Diamond Afterset
Custom or afterset diamond watches have been customised outside of the factory manufacturers, in our case, in-house by our expert diamond setters.
Both factory and custom-set watches have real diamonds & precious gemstones of similar size, quality, and quantity. We hand-select all of our diamonds specifically for our customised watches, and for certain designs, we also incorporate precious coloured stones such as Rubies, Sapphires & Emeralds.
All of our timepieces offer something unique, unexpected and perfectly balanced, which is exactly what our worldwide client base is looking for. Our immense popularity is derived from our dedication to creating the most exquisite timepieces when it comes to bespoke luxury.
Diamond Quality
As standard, we set all of our custom watches with G colour (clear white) VS/SI 1 in clarity diamonds; this gives the perfect balance between quality and affordability. We also sell certain higher-value timepieces with VVS diamonds.
If you are diamond-setting your existing timepiece and would like to use different colour and clarity stones – it is possible.
Handcrafted
It is the extraordinary skill set of our diamond-setters that ensures each stone is placed perfectly, and securely lodged into the finely sculpted precious metal. The precise alignment, orientation, stone regularity as well as intricate finishing of the metalwork creates a sparkling masterpiece. Under no circumstance would we ever use glue or any similar substance to set stones – every seat is carved carefully into the metal by hand.
All of our diamond-setting is completed in-house at our Dubai workshop. We source all of our diamonds from leading suppliers throughout Russia, Australia, Canada and India.
Diamond Certifcate?
Certificates are issued on single stone diamonds above 0.15 carats – therefore smaller stones do not come with a certificate. A custom-set diamond watch typically has over 1,000 smaller diamonds giving an impressive total carat weight for the whole piece.
When sourcing our diamonds, we buy in large 100-carat loose diamond parcels. Each parcel is certified but not each individual diamond.

CUSTOMISE MY WATCH
Custom Factory
We make watches VS boutique watches. Both have real diamonds & precious gemstones of similar size, quality and quantity.
However, custom set watches have had the stones added outside of the manufacturers, in our case, in-house by our expert diamond setters. We hand-select all of our diamonds specifically for our customised watches, and for certain designs, we also incorporate precious coloured stones such as Rubies, Sapphires & Emeralds.
Coral Watches
At Coral, not only do we sell bespoke luxury timepieces, we also offer you the ability to customise a watch already in your own collection. Taking inspiration from one of our stock pieces and adapting to suit your requirements, or create something totally unique.
We can customise most luxury watch brands, such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Hublot and so on. Once we receive your watch, most customisations can be completed in around 5-7 working days, some more complex projects may take up to 3-4 weeks.

Customisation Options
We offer an impressive array of customization options to suit your taste and budget, from simply adding a new bezel to more complex custom projects. We use only hand-selected diamonds and our standard is G color (clear white) VS/SI clarity. However, clients may request a higher color and/or clarity grade for these diamonds if desired. We will never use substandard diamond quality on any of our pieces. All custom services are backed by a full 2 year guarantee.

This option is where we diamond-set only the shoulder parts or lugs of the watch and add a custom bezel.

Centre Links
This option means that we only set diamonds in the center link of the bracelet.

WHY NOT
Add a Custom Bezel?
The bezel is the ring that surrounds the crystal to hold it in place. Our bezels are usually made of gold, but can also be made of other materials such as platinum, steel or a combination of various metals. We intricately set our bezels with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other precious stones. We also offer a variety of diamond setting techniques and gemstone cuts – such as brilliant, princess, pavé and baguette.
How is it Fitted?
In most cases, we will remove the original bezel and our skilled watchmakers will install the new custom bezel into your watch. Your original bezel will be returned to you and can be reinstalled on your watch at any time.
In some models, we are unable to install the new custom bezel, so we will set the diamonds/gems on the original parts. In this case, once the custom work is completed, it cannot be reversed.

Diamond Setting Syles
The Coral traditional diamond setting is whereby all of the stones are positioned in straight lines. We also offer pavé setting whereby the stones are positioned closer together in a honeycomb pattern (less gaps, more diamonds, minimal edges).
Traditional & Pavé Together
We have a lot of clients who like to choose the traditional diamond setting for the main case of the watch paired with a pavé set diamond bezel. The pavé bezels also come in one, two or three rows of diamonds.
All of our timepieces offer something unique, unexpected and perfectly balanced, which is exactly what our worldwide client base is looking for. Our immense popularity is derived from our dedication to creating the most exquisite timepieces when it comes to bespoke luxury.
In the case of diamonds, our standard is G colour (clear white) VS/SI 1 in clarity. However it is possible, should the customer require, to change the colour and clarity of these stones. On all of our stock watches, we use the above-stated colour and clarity as we believe it gives the perfect balance between quality and affordability.
Diamond grading can be explained simply as follows, the diamond colour scale starts at D (the most colourless) through to Z (very noticeably yellow in colour). The clarity scale starts at flawless through to included and is also numbered 1,2,3 with the lowest of these numbers meaning the tail part of that clarity grading. To summarise, the debate between custom & factory will always rage on. Both have their benefits and drawbacks. What we provide is an alternative. Our clients can buy/create something truly unique and bespoke to them at a more affordable price, without compromising on quality.
Based in Shenzhen, we are a small team of experts who ensure that every single timepiece created is given a truly one-on-one experience. Our service provides hand-crafted quality to a whole new level. We work with clients from all over the world, and pride ourselves on being able to give a truly memorable experience with every watch purchased.
All of our diamond-setting is completed in-house at our Shenzhen workshop. We source all of our diamonds from leading suppliers throughout Russia, Australia, Canada and India.
Whilst Rolex watches are our main brand of focus, we also customise many other luxury watch brands including Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille and so on.
