Rolex 116506 Daytona Platinum Ice-Blue Dial

The Rolex 116506 Daytona Platinum with ice-blue dial and diamond hour indices stands among the most coveted modern chronographs, introduced in honor of the Daytona's 50th anniversary in 2013. Crafted entirely from solid platinum—a metal chosen by Rolex exclusively for their most prestigious models—this Oyster-cased Daytona features a striking full ice-blue dial set with luminous hour markers, underscoring its ultra-luxe status. The watch is powered by the in-house caliber 4130, a column-wheel chronograph movement known for reliability and efficiency due to its vertical clutch system and robust 72-hour power reserve. Its signature chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel resists scratches and fading, maintaining legibility of the accurate tachymeter scale critical to the Daytona DNA. The platinum Oyster bracelet ensures not only unparalleled presence on the wrist but also weight and yet subtle heft that connoisseurs appreciate. This reference is rarely seen with diamond hour markers, making it a special configuration that appeals to collectors seeking exclusivity and status among Daytona references. The 116506 is not only emblematic of modern Rolex excellence in advanced engineering but also a touchstone in platinum haute horlogerie. It enjoys pride of place among contemporary sports chronographs for both technical innovation and collectability. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2022.
