{"product_id":"rolex-daytona-platinum-ice-blue-126506-2023","title":"Rolex Daytona Platinum Ice Blue Dial Ref 126506 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eReference 126506 is the Daytona in 950 platinum, and the ice blue dial is the giveaway — Rolex gives that colour to platinum and to nothing else, so the metal identifies itself across a room without a word of engraving. The chestnut brown counters are what stop it being cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back is the part worth knowing about. This generation was the first series-production Daytona Rolex fitted with a transparent case back, anti-reflective coated, which for a company that spent seventy years insisting the Oyster should be sealed and opaque is a genuine change of position. What you see through it is calibre 4131, and the point of showing it is that Rolex finally thought the finishing was worth showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlatinum does two things to a watch this size. It weighs roughly a third more than steel, which the bracelet transmits immediately, and it takes a softer, greyer polish that never flashes the way white gold does. Against that, a brown ceramic bezel and brown sub-dial rings read as warmth rather than decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalibre 4131, self-winding chronograph, approximately 72 hours of power reserve, waterproof to 100 metres. A 40 mm platinum case under a chestnut brown monobloc Cerachrom bezel with a moulded tachymetric scale, 18 ct gold hour markers with Chromalight, on the platinum Oyster bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed condition, 2023, offered as a full set. A second hand platinum Daytona that has actually been worn, which is rarer than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery watch is authenticated by an independent watchmaker before it changes hands, never by us.
