“Ice Blue Daytona (current)”
Rank #105 of 113 rated pieces in the Rolex Vault
Market range centered on the median of 3 recorded eBay sales in the last 12 months (thin data, treat as a guide).
Average market price for an example in excellent condition. Dashed line marks the 2026 retail price.
The current platinum Daytona, and the first Daytona ever made with a transparent caseback so you can see the movement.
The ice-blue dial is reserved for platinum Rolexes only, and the chestnut-brown bezel makes it instantly recognizable.
It trades well above its already very high retail, which is unusual for precious-metal Rolex and shows how strong Daytona demand is at the top.
It replaced the 116506, which became the last closed-back platinum Daytona.
Our verdict: The flagship Daytona. Holds a premium even at this price.

Recorded eBay completed sales, logged at our last data refresh.
Recorded eBay sales from the last 12 months put the typical Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Platinum 126506 at $115,300, with the middle half selling between $104,900 and $125,700 (3 sales). Condition, box and papers move the price within that range.
Yes. The typical sale of $115,300 is about 36% above the $84,600 retail price.
The Crown Index grades it D (53/100) from real resale data, and today's call is wear, not invest. Weak resale; buy it to wear, not to make money. Past prices are not a forecast.
