Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Dial Platinum 40mm – Ref. 116506
A true statement of precision and prestige, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116506 blends technical mastery with timeless elegance. Originally introduced to mark the 50th anniversary of the Daytona line, this model features a stunning ice blue dial—a color reserved exclusively for Rolex’s platinum timepieces.
Encased in a 40mm solid platinum case, the watch is outfitted with a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel engraved with a tachymetric scale, perfect for measuring speed up to 400 units per hour. The dial hosts three chronograph sub-dials (60 seconds, 30 minutes, and 12 hours), framed by luminous platinum hands and hour markers, with minute markers around the outer rim for enhanced readability.
Powering this masterpiece is the legendary Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement with a 44-jewel architecture and a 72-hour power reserve. The movement is fitted with a Parachrom hairspring, Breguet overcoil, and Microstella regulating screws—designed for ultimate accuracy, shock resistance, and thermal stability.
The timepiece is paired with a robust platinum Oyster bracelet, secured with a folding Oysterlock clasp and flip-lock safety system. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, this Daytona is as resilient as it is refined.
