Spotted on the wrists of some of the most important athletes and personalities in the world including Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets, Spanish soccer player Álvaro Negredo, and the legendary Michael Jordan, the Rolex platinum Daytona reference 116506 is highly desired and immensely attractive. The reference 116506 was introduced at Baselworld in 2013 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model, and is the first Daytona offered by the brand to be encased in the noblest of metals – platinum. Sporting an extremely attractive ice blue dial exclusively used on platinum models by Rolex, the Cerachrom bezel contrasts with a charming hint of chestnut brown, transcending the whole appearance of the timepiece. Extremely high in demand, the present example belongs to one of the first batches to be delivered in 2013 after the launch of the reference. Nearly a decade later, the so-called “Platona” remains as relevant and fresh as it did in 2013 when it surprised and delighted collectors. The reference 116506 offered here comes complete with its guarantee card and presentation box.
