In Rolex’s original lineup, the 118206 is the platinum Day-Date — and ice blue is the dial colour reserved exclusively for platinum models. That pairing of a cool, pale blue dial against the white sheen of platinum (here rendered in stainless steel) gives the 118206 a look unlike any gold Day-Date. At 36mm with a President bracelet, it wears with the refined proportions that defined the Day-Date for its first four decades.

The 118206 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The ice blue dial is immediately recognisable — a pale, almost glacial blue that shifts in tone with changing light. In direct sun it brightens toward silver-blue; in shade it deepens to a soft slate. The smooth domed bezel keeps the overall aesthetic clean, letting the unusual dial colour serve as the focal point. Day and date windows at 12 and 3 o’clock maintain the functional hallmarks of every Day-Date.
The stainless steel President bracelet mirrors the semi-circular link profile of its precious-metal counterparts, offering a comfortable fit and a polished finish. At 36mm the watch sits compactly, suiting slimmer wrists or those who prefer heritage sizing. Browse all ice blue and other Day-Date dials in the Day-Date collection.
