Lot Essay
Offered in excellent condition and with the full set of accessories, the present timepiece is part of the rarest Jewellery-set iterations of the Rolex Daytona chronograph. Crafted out of platinum gold, the timepiece participated in defying the idea that sports watches were bound to be manufactured in steel.
Reference 116506
Ref. 116506 is the first platinum Daytona Chronograph ever made by Rolex and was introduced at the 2013 Baselworld for the 50th anniversary of the model. Its most obvious innovation is the material of the case and bracelet, now produced in the most noble of all metals, the bezel and dial have also undergone important changes.
The chestnut-brown bezel is made of solid Cerachrom ceramic, with numerals and graduation drawn via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) of an ultra-thin platinum layer. The resulting effect is perfect legibility and aesthetic beauty.
