History

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126506 sits apart from the rest of the current Daytona range by material and by what it deliberately leaves out. Cased in 950 platinum rather than steel or gold, this reference entered the catalog in 2023 carrying the manufacture Calibre 4131, delivering approximately 72 hours of power reserve and independently certified as a Superlative Chronometer.

The bezel is the reference's clearest signature. Rolex fits the 126506 with a fixed monobloc bezel in brown "chocolate" Cerachrom ceramic carrying the tachymeter scale — a finish reserved exclusively for the platinum Daytona. Underneath it sits an ice-blue dial with the chronograph's characteristic three-subdial layout.

The case is finished at 40mm, the water resistance rated to 100 meters, and the sapphire crystal notably carries no date window and no Cyclops lens. The bracelet is the three-link Oyster, closed with the Oysterlock clasp.

As of this writing, the 126506 remains part of Rolex's current catalog and in active production, with no discontinuation announced in the source data used for this fiche.

How much does a Rolex Daytona 126506 platinum cost?
