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.

Full set delivered also with the ice blu diamond baguette dial & hands.
