Rolex 126500LN Daytona SS "Panda" Dial

The Rolex 126500LN Daytona Stainless Steel White Panda Dial represents the next chapter in one of the most iconic chronographs in horological history, unveiled in 2023 to mark 60 years of the legendary Cosmograph Daytona. This contemporary reference preserves the recognizable 40mm Oystersteel case and sharp lines but updates the classic formula with refined details, including a Cerachrom ceramic bezel featuring a thin metal edge—a noteworthy evolution enhancing durability and aesthetics. The highly legible white "Panda" dial, with contrasting black subdials, nods to historic Paul Newman Daytonas while providing superior visibility and unmistakable style. Inside is Rolex’s in-house caliber 4131, an automatic chronograph movement that benefits from advanced Chronergy escapement and Paraflex shock absorbers, pushing precision and longevity to modern standards. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters—a testament to the robust construction. The Daytona’s reputation for precision sports timing and motor racing pedigree make this iteration valued by serious collectors. The screw-down pushers and Triplock crown maintain the model’s purposeful DNA, while the reworked display caseback (a first for steel Daytonas) allows enthusiasts a rare glimpse at the intricate movement. The 126500LN blends legacy, performance, and contemporary refinement—cementing its role at the pinnacle of modern sports chronographs. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2024.
