The Rolex Daytona Platinum Reference 126506: The ultimate masterpiece
At Uhren2000, one of the leading watch retailers in Germany, we deal with exceptional timepieces every day. But occasionally we come across a real highlight - a model that makes every watch lover's heart beat faster. The Rolex Daytona Platinum Reference 126506 is one such masterpiece. While every Rolex Daytona is already a sought-after jewel, this model takes the cake. Here are the reasons:
The legendary platinum Daytona series
The Rolex Daytona Platinum reference 116506, the predecessor of the 126506, set new standards in the world of luxury with its platinum case. Rolex uses only the finest 950 platinum, an alloy enriched with ruthenium for added shine and durability. The robustness of platinum gives the iconic Oyster case its famous strength, while at the same time giving it a cool, sophisticated appearance.
From the case to the bracelet to the clasp and even the caseback frame - every component of this watch is made of this valuable metal. This immediately elevates the Daytona Platin to the Olympus of watches – where quality and exclusivity meet. The price of platinum is of course reflected in the cost, making this watch a much more exclusive purchase compared to its stainless steel counterparts. In return, however, you get a watch that not only makes an important statement on your wrist, but also has significant potential for increasing value.
The stunning ice blue dial and transparent case back
For the 50th anniversary of the Daytona in 2013, Rolex surprised with a bold decision: the introduction of the ice blue dial. This color nuance has been inextricably linked to the platinum Daytonas ever since - and for good reason. The cool, frosty tones harmonize perfectly with the maroon Cerachrom bezel, creating a color palette that is both elegant and timeless. But what sets the new 126506 apart from its predecessors is a feature that seemed unthinkable for a Daytona for a long time - a transparent case back.
For the first time, Rolex is allowing collectors and watch enthusiasts a glimpse of the masterful movement that powers this iconic chronograph timepiece. Visible is the new caliber 4131, a further development of the already impressive 4130. This improved caliber offers increased efficiency, a slimmer profile and the Chronergy escapement developed by Rolex, which further optimizes the precision of the watch. The transparent caseback symbolizes a shift in Rolex's philosophy by giving collectors a rare glimpse into the watch's inner workings - a tribute to tradition wrapped in modern innovation.
Exclusivity in its purest form
Although we regularly see exceptional watches at Uhren2000, the Daytona 126506 is a rarity even among rarities. As demand for these platinum timepieces continues unabated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of one. For now, only one lucky customer will have the privilege of owning this exclusive piece of jewelry. But as always, we are thrilled to be able to admire this masterpiece of watchmaking in person, knowing that it will soon be the showpiece in the collection of another passionate watch lover.
Conclusion
The Rolex Daytona Platinum Reference 126506 is a true work of art that combines the best of Rolex - legendary heritage, groundbreaking innovations and the finest materials. Whether it's the shimmering platinum case or the glimpse of the masterful Caliber 4131, this watch is a testament to the brand's unparalleled craftsmanship. For collectors and enthusiasts, the Daytona 126506 is not just a timepiece, but an investment in watchmaking history that will delight watch enthusiasts for generations to come. At Uhren2000 we are proud to be able to admire this model first hand.
