Description
Among contemporary platinum sports dress watches, the ice blue dial configuration paired with a full baguette diamond bezel represents one of the most coveted specifications in the current Day-Date 40 lineup. This unworn 40mm platinum example showcases Rolex’s mastery of precious metal case construction, where the dense 950 platinum case provides substantial wrist presence while maintaining the refined proportions that collectors prize.
