The first platinum Daytona Chronograph, Ref. 116506, was unveiled at Baselworld 2013 to mark the 50th anniversary of this iconic model. Featuring an exclusive ice-blue dial reserved for Rolex’s platinum timepieces and paired with a monobloc Cerachrom bezel—an in-house innovation renowned for its exceptional durability—the watch carries a substantial and luxurious presence on the wrist. Nearly a decade later, the so-called “Platona” remains as relevant as it was in 2013, when it first surprised and delighted collectors. This lot is in excellent, unworn condition, and represents a remarkable addition to any collection.
