Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126500LN

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126500LN is the current-production, 40mm Oystersteel chronograph fitted since 2023 with Rolex's in-house Calibre 4131, offering roughly 72 hours of power reserve and Superlative Chronometer certification. Cazador has zero verified price observations. Its clearest differential: a fixed, monobloc black Cerachrom bezel, and — since the Daytona carries no date — no Cyclops lens on the sapphire crystal.

History

Rolex refreshed the Cosmograph Daytona in 2023 around an entirely new engine: Calibre 4131, an in-house automatic chronograph movement built to deliver roughly 72 hours of power reserve. Every 126500LN carries Rolex's own Superlative Chronometer certification.

The case architecture is pure current-generation Daytona: a 40mm Oystersteel case rated to 100 meters of water resistance, topped with a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert engraved with a tachymeter scale. That bezel is fixed and monobloc — permanently bonded into the case rather than assembled as a separate rotating part.

The black dial keeps the three chronograph subdials that define the Daytona's face. Because this line has no date function, the sapphire crystal sits flat and uninterrupted, with none of the Cyclops magnifier Rolex fits to date-equipped references like the Datejust or Submariner Date.

On the wrist, the 126500LN closes on an Oyster-link bracelet secured by the Oysterlock folding clasp. As of this writing, the reference remains in Rolex's current catalog and in active production, with no discontinuation announced.

Cazador has not yet logged a single verified sale or listing for this exact reference.
