“Ice Blue Daytona”
Not ranked: too few recorded sales
Market range: 4 public auction results (Christie's) from the last 3 years, buyer's premium included.
Average market price for an example in excellent condition. Dashed line marks the 2022 retail price.
The 50th-anniversary platinum Daytona with the ice blue dial Rolex reserves for platinum alone. Replaced by the 126506 in 2023, which made this the collectible first generation.
Platinum sports Rolex rarely trades above retail; this one does, which tells you everything about the dial.
Platinum, ice-blue dial, chestnut bezel: the 50th-anniversary Daytona and the heaviest flex in the chronograph line. Rolex has reserved the ice blue dial for platinum models.
Discontinued in 2023 and replaced by a version with a see-through back, making this the last 'closed' platinum Daytona. It trades above its already enormous retail, rare for precious-metal Rolex and telling.
Our verdict: The blue-chip anniversary piece. Scarce, instantly recognizable, and the ice blue premium is durable.
