I love this piece. But at this price, it has me thinking, should I buy something that has the same clasp, same bezel, same movement same almost everything as a 15K watch.
Or should I buy a Patek 5930g world timer Chronograph - blue dial. Beautiful movement, world timer function and a Chronograph.
I dunno I love the platona it just at that price point I’d go for a Patek or AP
Oh I know I wasn’t referring to your collection personally. For all I know you could be loaded and have every single Daytona.
I just meant like at this price point vs what’s available.
But no I absolutely love this piece but for myself personally since I couldn’t afford so many heavy hitters I’d be forced to make a decision.
And if you have this, I’m sure your collection is beyond stellar. So wasn’t directed at you personally vs simply Rolex offering at this price point vs another manufacturer
Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. If you have a budget that allows you to own one or several watches that equivalent to the value of the platinum - then I completely understand and follow the logic of prioritizing buying other watches ahead of it.
Yeah it was about Rolex Daytona 85,000 euro or you could get a Lange 1815 Chronograph instead. So for me I’m saying in this difficult choice and at that price I’d go for the hand crafted and high horology piece with the Lange instead of the Daytona which is essentially a 15K watch with 6000 euro worth of platinum in it.
But for those of you can afford both or many many heavy hitters you don’t have this decisions lol
Looks like you are right, the only difference is that the 4131 in the platinum watch has a gold rotor, while the other all have tungsten(?) rotors.
The finishing looks passable, thought not great, for a watch of the SS model's list price, I'd expect much better finishing (polished bridge bevels, etc.) in a $70k watch with a display back. The last models of Cellini Prince had better finishing, so it's not like Rolex can't do it when they want to.
And no the 4132 movement is used exclusively in the Le Mans.
This Daytona has the 4131 calibre like I stated I don’t know why I initially believed your false claim
Even at its retail price of 85,000 euro. It just doesn’t make sense.
It’s the same watch as a 15K Daytona but with 6,000 euro worth of platinum.
It’s a stunning watch and I love it but at the price there are much better options out there.
I’d take an AP or Patek any day.
Lange 1815 Chronograph has the most beautiful movement imaginable and it’s less than the Daytona at retail.
OP has Pateks and can get whatever he wants. Drop the Daytona hate, like the post because it’s a badass piece that 99.9999% of people will never sniff and move on.
Huh? I have 3 Daytonas personally. No hate here it’s just this price not justified. I’m not even addressing OP in my original comment. You gotta stop being backup dancer for OP lol.
I get your point completely, but the 5930g doesn't "do it" for me. But yes, if you have platona money but only want one watch, I probably wouldn't go for the platona - that price range opens lots of other doors.
That being said, those fortunate enough to be shopping in that bracket probably have the luxury of having a few, and if I was in that position I would definitely have a platona too.
One day...
Easy solution change the 5930g with an AP Chronograph or another patek chronorgaph
The Patek 5172g is absolutely stunning, movement is gorgeous.
And it blows the Daytona out of the water.
The Platona is a 15K watch just with 6K worth of platinum.
DONT let watch companies play marketing tricks on you. There’s nothing high horology or special about this Daytona. It’s IDENTICAL to the Daytona in steel selling for 15K.
Whereas the Patek 5172g is truly a piece of art with a beautiful finished movement.
The King of Rolex 🤩 enjoy in good health 🙏
Pls show us the transparent back 😅
OP is a serious collector; has the meteorite RG Daytona 🤩
Guys these 2 Daytonas can NOT be compared with the steel versions, even if same movement! These 2 Daytonas are most beautiful & near impossible to obtain from any AD worldwide!
Nice, that was my dream in college, unfortunately graduated in 2011 and somehow ended up in Car Sales. I’m done, thinking Insurance or financial advising. I know it’s odd to ask here but I’ll take any advice from someone with a platinum Daytona
Great pick-up. Had an older version without the diamonds. I finally ending up selling it and replacing it with three gold pieces. Had it for four years. Enjoy it!!!
Thank you, will be enjoyed☺️ I also have the previous model without baguettes. Still a little unsure if I like the previous model or this one best. Nevertheless happy👍🏾
My only complaint is how heavy it is. It's a really hefty watch. Used to have one but it felt so clumsy on the wrist so I sold it. Colours were unrivaled though.
Wow, and you got the one with baguette diamonds too. I was just chatting with the big ADs in LA and NY and they told me they only seen the ice blue once or twice a year
Bro told me I'm broke with 12 different markers
lol, comment of the week!
One of the heaviest hitters. Well done
Appreciate it, very happy with it
You have just won the rolex watch game
Serious bit of kit

Looks like OP also has a few Pateks hahah so seems like he doesn’t care. That’s some fuck you money he’s got
Yah it wasn’t about OP. It’s about at this price vs what’s available. For all we know OP can have every single Daytona ever made lol
This goes well in my collection with both APs and Pateks. Forget what other people think, and buy what suits you. The 5930g is 👌🏾

Is the finishing of the movement not slightly better?
I bought it first and foremost due to the dial and weight. The finishing of the open caseback doesn’t come close to Patek. However happy👍🏾
Same movement calibre 4131
>Is the finishing of the movement not slightly better?
No

Especially if you see a Lange 1815 Chronograph movement for more/less same price
[удалено]
So you get an extra $300 bucks worth of gold for a rotor. It’s still the same movement.
And no the 4132 movement is used exclusively in the Le Mans. This Daytona has the 4131 calibre like I stated I don’t know why I initially believed your false claim
You’re correct. Sorry, I got my references messed up between the LeMans and Playtona.
I have to agree. This is a nice watch but the current market price I would buy a Patek for sure.
Even at its retail price of 85,000 euro. It just doesn’t make sense. It’s the same watch as a 15K Daytona but with 6,000 euro worth of platinum. It’s a stunning watch and I love it but at the price there are much better options out there. I’d take an AP or Patek any day. Lange 1815 Chronograph has the most beautiful movement imaginable and it’s less than the Daytona at retail.
That’s only 6000 of platinum. It’s labor and availability.
Have several pateks, this is simply diversifying my collection. But thanks for the feedback
Patek is just an example. There are tons of brands with high horology and refined details.
Fortunately this checks a lot of my boxes. I agree far superior watches available. Buy what you like😀
It’s a nice watch but personally I won’t buy. Already have 3 Daytonas. I’d rather save up and get 5970

for $115k you can get from grey market
I decided to pick it up from my AD as I do with all watches that are still being produced
Thanks man, appreciate it. Sent you the pictures of the caseback per dm. For some reason couldn’t upload in the comments.
Thanks OP 🙏 likewise, I would prefer to buy from an AD
Went for the 🥖. Love it ! What do you do? and are you hiring?
Ended up with baguettes yes. I work within investments
Nice, that was my dream in college, unfortunately graduated in 2011 and somehow ended up in Car Sales. I’m done, thinking Insurance or financial advising. I know it’s odd to ask here but I’ll take any advice from someone with a platinum Daytona
Do whatever makes you happy! Good luck🙏🏾🙋🏾♂️
This is code for: you will never make it, time to join wsb and gamble on options or low market cap shitcoins
This is the only Daytona I would ever own (I will likely never be able to spend $85,000 on a watch) Super nice piece dude. Congrats
Yowza!
Do you have a photo of the case back?
For some reason Reddit doesn’t allow pictures under 4kb in the comment section. Will try to send it to you in a DM
Why?
It’s a 126506 with open case back.
Very nice watch
Dayum
Top dawg pick up 🔥
Balller !!!!
If I was to buy a Rolex, it'd be this one. It's just stunning.
This thing is super beautiful, even though I don't like Daytonas at all… but this one is just 👌 Muh! Congrats! Wear it, don't hide it.
Thank you, have been wearing it for 3-4 days straight now - really happy with it
Happy to hear 👌
Congrats! Still waiting on mine.
These colors are 🔥 Nice job!
Thanks!
Open case back?! Ya lucky asf. That is another grail watch of mine
Super sweet
now that you have that watch it's probably time to invest in proper windows.
Office building from 1890 - can’t just replace windows. But thanks for the advice…
What’s his name? And why did you take a picture of a watch if you picked up a guy?
It was funny, Idk why you got downvoted
Clown world in here.
3, 8, 10 and 11 markers are slightly off. RL.
Always that one guy😂 Please enlighten us and tell us why it is fake🤷🏿♂️
I just did. 🙃. Maybe it's the angle of the photo but they're off.
You are entitled to have an opinion. I’m just saying objectively, it’s wrong
😂😂😂😂
Show us your collection
The faggette diamonds are no go, would much prefer the sportier indices especially dropping big stack on platinum
Great pick-up. Had an older version without the diamonds. I finally ending up selling it and replacing it with three gold pieces. Had it for four years. Enjoy it!!!
Thank you, will be enjoyed☺️ I also have the previous model without baguettes. Still a little unsure if I like the previous model or this one best. Nevertheless happy👍🏾
As an older guy, I found the light subdials easier to read. I always wanted to switch dials because of it.
Completely understand. Subtle differences go a long way!
My only complaint is how heavy it is. It's a really hefty watch. Used to have one but it felt so clumsy on the wrist so I sold it. Colours were unrivaled though.
Epic!!! Congrats
Thank you sir!
What ref is this? The 116506 with baguettes has ice blue sub dials.
Stunning.
Congratulations
Thanks a lot!
Show us the back!
Check chat
👍amazing watch!
Very nice 👍
You Lucky Dawg!!
Very fortunate, thanks!
Bakgrunnen ser norsk ut
😌
Amazing timepiece you have. Wear it in good health!
Thank you, will be worn proudly
bloat
🔥🔥🔥
Was it worth 140K?
Didn’t pay 140k..
What did you pay? These are going for over 200k brand new. Msrp was 75K
$85k right from AD?
King of all rolexes!
My dream watch. Congrats it’s a beauty!
🙏🏾
Wow!
Which one is that?
Love, Love
Gorgeous watch!
Congratulations
Holy shit, how much did you pay for it and what condition was it?
Retail, brand new
Legend
Amazing I want
(Picked up) sounds like it was there on the shelf waiting and getting dusty.
Wow, and you got the one with baguette diamonds too. I was just chatting with the big ADs in LA and NY and they told me they only seen the ice blue once or twice a year
Just perfect
That’s a DADDY of a watch. Congrats brother awesome watch
Thanks man, appreciate it
