Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Unworn 2024 - Latest Model, 126500LN

We are proud to present this iconic Rolex Cosmograph Daytona for sale in unworn condition, fully checked and authenticated in our accredited workshop. 

Born out of the early 1930’s sports watches worn by Sir Malcom Campbell, Rolex has long been associated with motor racing and speed. Then in the mid-1950’s Rolex produced a watch with a telemeter and tachymetre scale on the dial accompanied by 3 sub-dials for timing up to 12 hours. In 1963 Rolex removed the telemeter scale and moved the tachymeter onto the bezel for increased dial legibility and introduced the world to the term ‘Cosmograph’. But it was not until 1965 that the term ‘Daytona’ was used on the model, which came about as Rolex was the official timepiece of the racetrack. The subsequent models that followed have become some of the most desirable, collectible and expensive watches ever produced, not just because of the ‘exotic’ Paul Newman dials or the El Primero movements of the 1990’s but because of the pure racing heritage of the collection as well as the quality of the watches themselves.

This version of the iconic chronograph, reference 126500LN, was newly released in 2023 and features a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case fitted with a striking black Cerachrom bezel with a stainless steel border and engraved Tachymetric scale for measuring average speeds up to 400 mph/kmh. The crisp white 'Panda' dial boasts Chromalight luminous hour markers outlined in white gold with matching Chromalight hands, alongside contrasting black split-second markers for precise 1/8th-second timing. The triple sub-dials, white with black edges, enhance the dial's dynamic appearance, the red 'Daytona' text above the 6 o'clock sub dial paying homage to the original models from the 1960s. The screw-down crown and pushers contribute to the watches enhanced water resistance of 10atm (100m/330ft), with the timepiece equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass to further protect the watch from everyday wear. Lastly, it is powered by the automatic calibre 4131 chronograph mechanism and secured with a matching stainless steel Oyster link bracelet featuring the classic Oysterlock clasp.

Originally purchased at the end of 2024 and in unworn condition, supplied as a full set with its original inner and outer Rolex boxes, swing tag, seal, instruction manual, guarantee manual, leather card holder and international warranty card.

This Daytona benefits from the coverage of its Rolex warranty until 2029.
