Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona series m116506-0002 40mm

Among all Cosmograph Daytona references, the 116506 holds a singular position: it is the only Daytona produced in platinum, and the only one wearing the chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel that has become its most recognisable feature. The ice blue dial — a colour Rolex reserves exclusively for platinum models — combined with that rich brown ceramic bezel creates a colour pairing found nowhere else in the catalogue. First introduced in 2013 for the Daytona’s 50th anniversary, it remains one of the most coveted references in the entire Rolex lineup.

Key Specifications

The 116506 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet

The ice blue dial is immediately arresting — a pale, glacial blue that shifts between silvery and sky-blue depending on the lighting. Three recessed subdials track elapsed time in matching tones. The chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel is a monobloc ceramic piece with moulded tachymeter numerals, providing a warm contrast to the cool dial. Unlike gold-bezel Daytonas, this ceramic insert is virtually scratch-proof and fade-resistant.

The platinum Oyster bracelet carries the heaviest wrist presence of any Daytona — a density you notice immediately compared to steel or even gold. The folding Oysterclasp keeps the substantial bracelet secure. Discover all platinum and precious metal options in the Daytona collection.

Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese

Two chronograph movement tiers are offered:

• Swiss automatic chronograph — higher beat rate with a smooth sweep, extended power reserve, and finishing modelled on the caliber 4130. Best suited for collectors who expect the closest mechanical match to the genuine reference.
• Japanese automatic chronograph — reliable Miyota-based movement with proven durability and straightforward global servicing. A dependable option with full chronograph operation.

Both deliver start, stop, and reset functionality with automatic winding.
