Specialist note

Offered in very good overall condition and with the set of accessories, the present timepiece is crafted out of platinum, participated in defying the idea that sports watches were bound to be manufactured in steel. The dial displays a highly attractive ice-blue colour, enhancing the overall appeal of this fine timepiece. It is furthermore offered with the full set of accessories.

Reference 116506
Reference 116506 is the first platinum Daytona Chronograph ever made by Rolex and was introduced at the 2013 Baselworld for the 50th anniversary of the model. Its most obvious innovation is the material of the case and bracelet, now produced in the most noble of all metals, the bezel and dial have also undergone important changes.

The chestnut-brown bezel is made of solid Cerachrom ceramic, with numerals and graduation drawn via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) of an ultra-thin platinum layer. The resulting effect is perfect legibility and aesthetic beauty.
