“The most distinguished modern Daytona, the 116506 is a must-have for any Daytona enthusiast.”

One of the most iconic and recognisable watches of all time, the Rolex Daytona was designed in 1963 as the ultimate timing tool for endurance racing drivers, and the legendary line’s 50th anniversary piece, the 116506, highlights its evolution from pure tool watch to an item of outstanding beauty. It is the one and only Daytona to be crafted entirely of 950 platinum, striking for its silvery white hue and vibrancy and, in Rolex’s words, the “noblest of all metals.” Its case measures 40mm, and is complemented by a luxurious platinum Oyster bracelet and a chestnut-brown Cerachrom bezel - a Rolex patent which is resistant to scratches and fading. Together with a dial featuring baguette diamond hour markers against a backdrop of ice-blue, the signature of a Rolex platinum watch, the striking contrast transforms this piece into a jaw-dropping collector’s item. Only found on this model and the Day-Date, the ice-blue dial makes the 116506 a member of a highly exclusive club. Combined with Rolex’s painstaking process of diamond selection, cutting and aligning, undertaken by master gem-setters, this is truly the ultimate level of Daytona.
