Fratellowatches also has its own spot at this superb collection of Daytona related articles and posts, as we did some write-ups on this watch in the recent past.  Remember our Daytona overview in the ‘end-of’-year’ special we did here? More recent, we discussed the newly introduced platinum Rolex Daytona that was introduced during the 2013 Baselworld exhibition. Rolex did what nobody expected, they did not release a 50th anniversary Rolex Daytona like many expected, but came up with a platinum version instead, which is part of the normal collection. You can read more about the platinum Rolex Daytona with reference 116506 here.
