Inserted 03/05/2023
The Rolex GMT-Master II in yellow gold with a factory-set baguette bezel alternating rubies, sapphires, and diamonds is among the rarest and most opulent configurations Rolex has ever produced — an aftermarket or Rolex-certified gem-set variant that commands well above standard list price. Dan Caten, one half of the twin design duo behind DSquared2, was spotted wearing exactly this piece at a formal event, pairing it against a sharp double-breasted tuxedo, the gold Oyster bracelet catching stage light with unmistakable authority.
Dan Caten Spotted Wearing Rolex Yacht-Master II in 18k Yellow Gold
Inserted 03/05/2023
The Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116688 is the only watch in the Rolex catalogue built around a programmable mechanical regatta countdown — a genuine sailing instrument dressed in 18k yellow gold. The blue Cerachrom bezel with gold-toned numerals makes it one of the most visually assertive pieces in the professional sports line. Dan Caten, co-founder of the DSQ2 fashion empire, was photographed wearing this all-gold regatta chronograph, a fitting choice for a designer whose aesthetic has always balanced athletic energy with luxury excess.
Dan Caten Spotted Wearing Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116759SARU in White Gold with Sapphire and Ruby Bezel
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex GMT-Master II 116759SARU is one of the most extravagant references in the entire GMT lineup — its bezel set with alternating sapphires and rubies in place of the iconic ceramic insert, housed in 18k white gold. Retail in the UK sits at £47,940, placing it firmly in Rolex's ultra-luxury tier. Dan Caten, one half of the twin duo behind DSquared2, has always projected a maximalist aesthetic through fashion, and this wrist choice is entirely consistent with that identity — serious watchmaking dressed in unmistakable showmanship.
Dan Caten Spotted Wearing Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116589 in White Gold with Baguette Diamond Bezel
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116589 represents one of the most extravagant configurations in the Daytona family — its bezel set entirely with baguette-cut diamonds, a far cry from the tool-watch origins of the line introduced in 1963. Powered by the in-house calibre 4130 with 72-hour power reserve, this piece pairs horological substance with unapologetic luxury. Dan Caten, co-founder of the fashion house Dsquared2, was spotted wearing exactly this reference, finishing the look with an exotic crocodile strap — a pairing entirely consistent with his brand's maximalist aesthetic.
