The reference 116506 was introduced at Baselworld in 2013 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model, and was the first Daytona offered by the brand to be encased in the noblest of metals – platinum. Sporting an extremely attractive ice blue dial exclusively used on platinum models by Rolex, the Cerachrom bezel contrasts with a charming hint of chestnut brown, transcending the whole appearance of the timepiece. Nearly a decade later, the so-called “Platona” remains as relevant and fresh as it did in 2013 when it surprised and delighted collectors. Now discontinued, the present example from 2021 is complete with guarantee and presentation box.
