Platinum Rolex daytona 116506

[vman]

On the hardness scale, platinum is harder than gold but softer than steel. Thus, I expect a daily platinum beater to be a better alternative for gold. It may develop more of a patina (wear) than a steel beater under the same conditions.

Also, it would be interesting to find out what Rolex does with platinum. Rolesor (essentially a gold alloy) is quite remarkable.
