There are far more knowledgable people on here than me, but I'm not aware of any other platinum dials from Rolex apart from the Yacht-Master. They are brass covered in different coloured materials.

In case you hadn't seen this, here's Jocke's immortal Yacht-Master breakdown which proves the dial is platinum. Even is a Rolex employee disagrees!:

I have the YM with the platinum dial and it is simply understated elegance IMO.

As far as I know the YM is the only platinum dialed Rolex.

Yes, understated and under appreciated! Quite elegant IMO.

I believe the Yachtmaster is the one and only.

Is the dial material itself actually platinum? I always thought it was a platinum finish over a base metal.

Pretty sure it’s a solid platinum disc with a blasted front side to achieve the sparkle.

That would seem to make the platinum dial Y-M unique among Rolex's offerings. Too bad they discontinued it.
