Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 116506 – Platinum, Ice Blue Dial, Eastern Arabic Numerals – Unworn, Full Set 2022

Offered here is the highly desirable Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, reference 116506 — the first platinum Daytona and one of the most celebrated modern executions of Rolex's iconic chronograph. Combining the unmistakable Daytona silhouette with the weight, presence, and exclusivity of a full platinum case and bracelet, it remains one of the most sought-after contemporary references.

This example is presented in brand new, unworn condition — the watch has never been worn and the bracelet remains complete with all original links, never adjusted. Offered as a 2022 full set with box, papers, and accessories as supplied, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire this reference exactly as delivered by the boutique.

The defining feature of the watch is its striking ice-blue dial — a colour reserved by Rolex for its platinum models — paired with brown chronograph registers and a matching chestnut brown Cerachrom bezelwith engraved tachymeter scale. The contrast between the cool dial, the warmth of the bezel accents, and the substantial platinum Oyster case gives the watch an unmistakable presence, both modern and highly collectible.

This example is further distinguished by its Eastern Arabic numerals — a configuration produced in very limited numbers for select markets and seen only occasionally across Rolex's modern production. Far rarer than the standard baton or Western Arabic dials, these regionally designated dials have become a focus for collectors worldwide, prized for their distinctive character and scarcity within otherwise iconic references. On the platinum Daytona, the combination is among the most desirable of the modern era.

Inside is the automatic Rolex calibre 4130, a robust in-house chronograph movement renowned for reliability and precision. The watch features a 40 mm case, 100 metres of water resistance, screw-down pushers, and the platinum Oyster bracelet — technically strong, instantly recognizable, and a true landmark reference.
