The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona reference 126506, introduced in 2023, represents a significant update to the platinum Daytona line. This reference maintains the established aesthetic of its predecessor while incorporating the latest technical advancements from the brand. It is distinguished by its specific dial and bezel combination, which is exclusive to the platinum execution of the model.
This timepiece features a 40mm case crafted from platinum, housing the new-generation Caliber 4131 automatic movement. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and is protected by a sapphire crystal. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, ensuring its durability in various conditions.
As a platinum variant, the 126506 appeals to collectors seeking the most exclusive material within the Daytona collection. Its ice blue dial and chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel are signature elements that differentiate it from other metal versions. This reference continues the tradition of platinum Daytonas as a flagship offering.
