The Daytona Platinum reference 116506 debuted at the Baselworld 2013, marked the model’s 50th anniversary, and meets the highest standards of design and functionality matching a sporty yet elegant style. While the platinum Daytona met a lot of expectations (such as featuring a Cerachrom bezel and Rolex in-house Caliber 4130 chronograph movement), it also subverted them by making that ceramic bezel brown and crafting the entire watch and bracelet from the noblest of precious metals: 950 solid platinum. The watch here offered is a wonderful specimen in attractive and in New Old Stock conditions, like it left the factory today, featuring a brown ceramic bezel, a beautiful ice blue dial is used exclusively on platinum models by Rolex, including the Day-Date, Datejust and the present Cosmograph Daytona. Sold by the original owner, it is, furthermore, offered with a full set of accessories.
