In 2023, Rolex celebrated the 60th anniversary of the iconic Daytona, first introduced in 1963 and now regarded as one of the most sought-after and legendary timepieces ever produced.
To mark the occasion, Rolex unveiled the reference 126500LN, a thoroughly modern interpretation of the Daytona. It features an updated Cerachrom bezel, a design element first introduced in 2016 with the reference 116500LN. Additionally, the bezel now includes a subtle metallic edge, providing better protection against damage from accidental impacts.
The dial has also undergone refinements, including smaller hour markers, thinner fonts, and the addition of a discreet Rolex crown at 6 o’clock, signifying the presence of a next-generation movement. This latest caliber, number 4131, is equipped with Rolex’s highly efficient Chronergy escapement, ensuring exceptional accuracy and performance.
