The story

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: A: the flagship Daytona. Holds a premium even at this price.
