Rolex 2014 Cosmograph: Rolex Daytona Platinum, Diamonds

Commendable, how Rolex is giving Daytona a serious, Platinum makeover. When Rolex launched Platinum Daytona 116506 to celebrate 50 years of existence, of legendary Daytona collection, many were surprised. Daytona was never crafted in Platinum, until last year. Here’s another Platinum Daytona, circa 2014, ref 116576, with some added sparkle! Daytona Platinum, Diamonds with lust-worthy, light ice-blue sub dials.

Any Daytona fan will know that a Platinum model in Rolex is religiously accompanied with blue dial. Rolex already exhausted that option last year on Daytona 116506. New platinum Daytona dominates dial real estate with diamonds and sprinkles it with three sub-dials in blue for Basel World 2014. 2014 Rolex Platinum Daytona Diamond ref 116576 Price CHF 148000, Rupees 9991835 , HKD $1294816, US $ 166892.
