The first Rolex Daytona replica watches were introduced in 1963, which leads into this 50th anniversary of this highly sought-after chronograph. Both new and pre-loved. Although Rolex replica watches did not came up with the limited or special anniversary edition that many people expected, they did introduce – for the first time – a platinum version of their Rolex replica Cosmograph Daytona and have it reference number 116506.
The Rolex Daytona replica watches 116506 remains to have the same case diameter, same movement, bracelet and so on. Which is a good thing. Would a new 42mm (or even larger) case would be welcomed by the buyers out there? I don’t think the majority out there would prefer a larger case. The use of platinum is something that’s perhaps makes this watch only available for the happy few, even in the pre-owned or grey market. It does make it a special watch of course, but one can ask himself whether the platinum makes it very distinctive from the stainless steel. Platinum looks more like stainless steel than white gold does, only the use of the Ice blue dial with brown accents and the brown Cerachrom ceramic bezel will make it recognizable for others being a platinum reference 116506.
Do I like it? In short: Yes. The ice blue dial is not something I would have picked myself when designing a new edition of this icon, as I associate it with the Rolex Day-Date replica watches models and not with sports watches. The brown Cerachrom bezel and brown rings around the sub registers however, seems to be a nice referral to the faulty 16520 of the mid-1990s. Furthermore, it also matches quite well with the ice blue dial.
