To commemorate the continued success of this timeless model, the reference 116506 was introduced at the Baselworld in 2013 for the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model. Reference 116506 is also the first platinum Daytona Chronograph ever offered by Rolex for sale. For reference 116506, Rolex uses 950 platinum - an alloy consisting of 950‰ (thousandths) platinum - meticulously made by Rolex’s in-house professional craftsmen.
The beautiful ice blue dial is used exclusively on platinum models by Rolex, including the Day-Date, Datejust and the present Cosmograph Daytona. The lustrous azure color of the dial is repeated within the subsidiary dials, wondrously adorning the superb grandeur of the platinum case and bracelet.
Our research shows that the present watch is fresh to the auction market, making it an even more exquisite timepiece to own.
