Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Platona"

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Platona” at a glance

Platinum, “ice blue” and chestnut brown

“Platona” is a nickname from the collector scene, not an official Rolex name. The specialist press uses it to refer to the platinum Daytona on a platinum Oyster bracelet with a brown Cerachrom bezel and blue dial. Reference 126506 features a 40 mm Oyster case in platinum, a chestnut brown Monobloc Cerachrom bezel and a dial that Rolex officially calls “ice blue”. On variant 126506-0001 it is combined with chestnut brown counter rings. Inside beats the Rolex manufacture calibre 4131 with a power reserve of approx. 72 hours; the watch is worn on the Oyster bracelet.

From the 116506 to the 126506

The predecessor is considered to be reference 116506, which was in the range from 2013 to 2023. The 126506 was introduced in 2023; according to rolex.com (archive status 15.09.2026), the 126506-0001 is listed in the current catalogue. Three features are decisive for classification as a “Platona”: platinum, the “ice blue” dial and the chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel. An overview of all versions of the line can be found on the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona page. Other Daytona nicknames from the collector scene include “Panda”, “John Mayer”, “Le Mans” and “Rainbow”.
