The case diameter has been reduced from 42mm to 39mm from the previous model, making it even more comfortable on the wrist.

"Daytona"
"Ref.116506"

The Daytona "Ref. 116506" features a case made of platinum (PT) , a material that is difficult to process and polish and is therefore only used in the highest-end models.

This watch, with its impressive chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel and refreshing ice blue coloring, has been extremely popular since its release in 2013, the 50th anniversary of the Daytona. With the announcement of its successor, the Ref. 126506, at Watches and Wonders Geneva in 2023, it was discontinued, but many people were relieved that there were no major design changes.
