The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 126518LN stands out as one of the most distinctive and luxurious variations of the iconic chronograph. Crafted in 18 ct yellow gold and paired with a vivid turquoise lacquered dial, this version exudes a bold yet refined personality. The 40 mm Oyster case features a black monobloc Cerachrom bezel in ceramic with a moulded tachymetric scale, designed for precise speed measurement—true to the Daytona’s racing heritage. With its monobloc middle case, screw-down pushers, and Triplock crown, the watch offers waterproof performance up to 100 metres, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures long-lasting clarity and durability.
Inside, the Daytona is powered by Rolex’s calibre 4131, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house. It delivers exceptional chronometric precision at -2/+2 seconds per day after casing and offers approximately 72 hours of power reserve. The movement incorporates advanced features such as a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, ensuring robust resistance to shocks and magnetic interference. The watch is fitted with a comfortable Oysterflex bracelet—comprised of flexible metal blades overmoulded with high-performance elastomer—secured with a yellow gold folding Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension system. Combining avant-garde design, precious materials, and high-performance engineering, the 126518LN is a Daytona unlike any other.
