Rolex 116506 Daytona Platinum Ice Blue Dial

The Rolex 116506 Daytona Platinum Ice Blue Dial was introduced in 2013 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Daytona line, marking Rolex's first use of platinum for the collection. This milestone reference captivates collectors with its signature ice blue dial—a hue reserved exclusively for Rolex platinum watches—paired to a rich brown ceramic Cerachrom bezel and subdial rings, underscoring exclusivity and technical prowess. Driven by the robust in-house calibre 4130 automatic chronograph movement, the 116506 exemplifies precision and endurance with a vertical clutch and column wheel, reflecting Rolex's relentless pursuit of mechanical perfection. Luminous Chromalight hour markers enhance legibility, while the platinum Oyster case ensures enduring luxury and weight on the wrist. The 40mm size sits perfectly balanced, and its screw-down pushers and crown provide a water resistance to 100 meters. The model's rarity, especially with this color combination, continues to fuel high demand among serious enthusiasts who recognize it as a pinnacle of modern Daytona collecting. The watch is finished with a full platinum Oyster bracelet, providing unmistakable gravitas and comfort for the wearer. This reference stands as a contemporary icon, driven by one of the industry's most respected automatic chronograph movements, and is poised for lasting reverence in the world of haute horlogerie.
