Description

The 116506-0003 differentiates itself from other Platinum Daytonas with the diamond pavé dial, with contrasting sub-dials in the signature ice-blue tone.

It features a 40mm monobloc middle case in 950 Platinum with an astonishing diamond pavé dial with ice blue sub-dials reminiscing of the standard platinum Daytona tones.

To ensure maximum legibility on the dial, the markers and Arabic numerals are coated in Chromalight display for long-lasting luminescence. The chestnut brown ceramic bezel, engraved with numerals and graduations, provides a striking contrast to the ice-blue and matches the rings encircling the sub-dials. The chronograph includes 12-hour and 30-minute counters at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock, with small seconds at 6 o’clock.

This chronograph watch is powered by the self-winding 4130 calibre with an impressive 72-hour power reserve as well as a 100 meters water resistance.
The movement includes a vertical clutch and column wheel that makes sure the chronograph functions optimally. Also built-in is the patented Parachrom hairspring which negates the adverse effects of any magnetic fields and is exceptionally resistant to shocks and temperature variations. With a maximum deviation of -2/+2 seconds per day, the performances of this Rolex engine are worthy of this watch bearing the name “Superlative Chronometer”.

This high performance timepiece comes in an Oyster platinum bracelet with a folding Oyster safety clasp to secure it on your wrist.
