Only Rolex Daytona models in platinum carry the ice blue dial — it is the exclusive visual signature that separates this reference from every other Cosmograph. The 126506 pairs that instantly recognisable colour with a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel, a combination introduced to replace the previous generation’s chestnut-on-platinum formula. At 40mm, the platinum case carries substantial wrist weight that no steel or gold Daytona can replicate.

The 126506 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The ice blue dial glows with a cool, glacial tone that shifts between pale aqua and silver depending on the light angle. Three brown-ringed subdials — running seconds at six, 30-minute counter at three, and 12-hour totaliser at nine — provide warm contrast against the icy background. Applied stick hour markers with luminescent fill and a red-tipped central chronograph seconds hand complete the dial layout.
The chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel is scratch-resistant ceramic with a moulded tachymeter scale. The platinum Oyster bracelet gives the watch its characteristic heft — noticeably heavier than gold equivalents. Explore other chronograph references in the Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two movement grades are offered, each providing full chronograph functionality:
- Swiss automatic chronograph — high-beat rate with smooth sweep, extended power reserve, and finishing that mirrors the genuine caliber 4131 architecture. Ideal for collectors who want the closest mechanical experience to the original.
- Japanese automatic chronograph — Miyota-based chronograph movement with proven durability, functional subdials, and accessible worldwide servicing. A practical entry into the platinum Daytona experience.
Both options deliver fully functional start, stop, and reset chronograph operation.
