Haruyoshi Group Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo), a company specializing in the resale of luxury watches and high-end brand jewelry, has acquired a platinum jewelry model of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona (Ref. 116576TBR).
Introduced in 2014, this watch is the top-tier high-jewelry specification of the Daytona, combining a platinum case, a baguette diamond bezel and a pavé diamond dial. Its domestic list price at launch was 16.2 million yen (tax included). Production numbers were extremely small to begin with, and the model has been discontinued with the move to the current generation, so opportunities to see one in person on the market are rare.

What Is Ref. 116576TBR? Rolex's Finest Luxury, Reserved for Platinum
On Rolex watches, an ice-blue dial is a special color reserved for platinum models, the brand's top-tier material. This watch uses ice blue for the subdials, while the entire dial is covered in a pavé finish of countless diamonds laid out like a snowfield. In place of the tachymeter bezel that symbolizes the Daytona, it is set with 36 baguette-cut diamonds of matched grade. The weighty gleam of platinum and the sparkle of the diamonds merge into a single light on the wrist.
Inside is Rolex's in-house chronograph Caliber 4130, which features a column wheel and a vertical clutch. Although it is a jewelry watch, it makes no compromise on the practicality and reliability of the Daytona, the "king of sports watches." Haruyoshi describes it as the pinnacle of the Daytona, pouring platinum, baguette diamonds and pavé into a single watch, and as a piece for those seeking something that no one else will be wearing.
Sales: High-Quality Items, Unmatched Volume, Unbeatable Prices
Haruyoshi says it is not simply a shop that buys at the highest price and sells at the lowest. Its approach is to source high-quality items in large volume and offer them at prices unmatched elsewhere. With cumulative sales of 235.6 billion yen across three fiscal years in luxury watch resale, the company says this scale lets it source even a discontinued platinum jewelry Daytona and offer it at a fair price.
If there's a particular watch on your wish list, Haruyoshi will search its worldwide network to help you find it. Requests such as "I want a rainbow Daytona" or "I'm looking for a different ice-blue model" are welcome.
Buyback: Actively Buying Rare Rolex Models, Comparisons Welcome
Haruyoshi is actively expanding its buyback of rare Rolex models, including the Daytona, platinum and jewelry models, discontinued models and secret models, and says it will offer buyback prices well above what other shops quote. Rare models priced above 10 million yen, where market pricing information is scarce, are exactly where Haruyoshi's worldwide sales network proves its value, according to the company.
If you're considering selling a piece, quotes and comparisons from other shops are more than welcome. Bring your other estimates and come to Haruyoshi last, and the company says it will add on top of the best offer you've received. In-store appraisals by professional appraisers are free of charge.
