What's there to say about this watch? A lot, really. The Daytona is arguably the most sacred watch to Rolex collectors, rivaled only perhaps by the Submariner.

What's there to say about this watch? A lot, really. The Daytona is arguably the most sacred watch to Rolex collectors, rivaled only perhaps by the Submariner. And coming into Basel World 2013, expectations for a 50th anniversary Daytona were really, really high. The assumption was, for some reason, that we'd see something that would resemble a reference 6263 Daytona - with a black Cerachrom bezel placed atop the existing stainless steel model. That's not what we got - instead we the very first Cosmograph to be made in the noblest of all metals - platinum.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Reference 116506 remains 40mm in size. It features a case made entirely of 950 platinum, with a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel. The dial is ice blue, a color used exclusively on platinum models by Rolex - most notably the Day-Date II.

And in fact the chestnut brown ceramic of the bezel on this new 50th anniversary Daytona is actually a lovely color in the metal. You can see it here above. It is matched perfectly by the lacquered sub-dials within the ice-blue dial.

The three-piece solid Oyster bracelet is also made entirely of platinum, and the watch just feels incredible on the on the wrist.
