If I recall, it was not a hot model upon release in 2013. It traded at a discount and ADs had a hard time moving them and offered them at steep discounts. That all changed in the last 3 years, especially the last 1.5 years.
I saw this watch at an AD in Canada back in 2014. Its retail price was then $72,000 CAD. Within three years it was retailing for $98,000 CAD. I saw a used model in Toronto recently for $47,000 CAD.
The Watch Guys have one and I think he weighed it around 290g. A Day Date 40 is around 265g and my 116719BLRO was 221g white Gold.. Yellow Gold Submariners are 221g too. Much more than the spot price of 24 Ct Gold in Troy Ounces, but with the insane money being asked for a stainless steel ceramic Daytona approaching £30K, I’d always go precious metal. It’s fully tarnish proof.
@@andrewholt3849 I asked specifically, as it affects the wearability. I have the ceramic steel Daytona , at around 132 grams...so the beast in Platinum is more than double its weight! I tried it one when launched and was impressed , but shocked by the weight. May thanks for the info :o)
could you get a sub black ceramic sub for retail? It's been my grail watch I've worked hard to find it but haven't pulled the trigger until i can afford a new one.
Amazing informative video. Can you please tell if the factory diamond marker model was launched in 2013 along with standard platona or was it launched later?
I picked up my Platona baguette dial from my AD this week. From a purely selfish point of view, I definitely wouldn’t complain if it gets discontinued in April!
Congratulations, you have done very well to get one. I personally don't think its going this year, 2023 is the 60th anniversary so I feel we will see something interesting released to replace the 116506. Thanks for watching.
@@frankiemardell-trilogy whats with the bagautte diamonds blue subdials & brown subdials ? I mean, were both released together in 2013 ? Why is there 2 variation of this daytona ?
@@-Prashant-Kumar They were both released at the same time in 2013, the non diamond dial used brown sub dials, and the baguette dial uses blue sub dials, it's a subtle difference to tell the dials apart. Personally I prefer with brown sub dials as the contrast gives a better look on the watch IMO. Thanks for watching.
No one should pay above retail for this watch or any watch. Forget supply and demand but if you can afford this watch you will obviously understand how any retail market works. Yes the dealers will tell you it’s a THREE year waiting list. Is it ???
really? i think the plain is evan better with the contrast. its an extra lot of money just to have the bugette version aswel but both still looks stunning
One of my friend owns the Platinum Daytona diamond baguette.
Heavy watch, but jesus, the way it fits. it's wonderful

Just goes to prove how good of an investment these watches are!
Thanks for watching.
I saw this in Geneva in 2017. At around 77 000 USD.
Excellent and concise vid...please can you advise the weight in grams of the standard one?

Yes all the dials were launched in the anniversary year.
Thanks for watching.

The diamond platinum Daytona was introduced in 2015, two years after the regular 116506.
Nice one Frankie.
I hope value keep going up and become more exclusive

I went to my AD a few years ago looking for a Sub and they had one of these available at retail. I can kick myself for not buying it.
If only we all knew what we know now.😀
