Spotted on the wrists of some of the most important athletes in the world including Kevin Durant of Golden State Warrior, Spanish footballer Álvaro Negredo, and the legendary Michael Jordan — arguably the greatest basketball player of the century, the Rolex platinum Daytona reference 116506 is well-loved not without good reason.

The reference 116506 was introduced at the Baselworld in 2013 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model, which is the first Daytona offered by the brand to be encased in the noblest of metal, platinum. Sporting an extremely attractive ice blue dial exclusively used on platinum models by Rolex, the Cerachrom bezel bears a charming hint of chestnut brown that transcends the whole appearance of the timepiece. Extremely high in demand, the present example belongs to the first batch to be delivered in 2013 during the launch of the reference. Preserved in a stunning condition worn no more than a handful of times, making this present ice blue Daytona an even more exquisite timepiece to own.
