Daytona

Introduced as part of Rolex's 2026 exceptional watches collection, reference 126502 pairs the Cosmograph Daytona's motorsport heritage with two materials of extraordinary technical distinction. The anthracite Cerachrom bezel is crafted from a tungsten-rich ceramic developed exclusively by Rolex, edged with a band of platinum — a combination that has never appeared on a production Daytona before. The white Grand Feu enamel dial, produced through a vitreous enameling process requiring multiple kiln firings, places this reference firmly within the tradition of haute horlogerie dial-making. The tachymetric scale numerals are presented horizontally in a contemporary font echoing the original 1963 Cosmograph, and the sapphire crystal case back — secured by a platinum ring — reveals caliber 4132 within. The 40mm stainless steel Oyster case carries the new anthracite Cerachrom bezel with platinum-edged tachymetric scale, paired with a three-link Oyster bracelet in stainless steel. The white Grand Feu enamel dial presents three subdials — elapsed seconds at nine, thirty-minute counter at three, and twelve-hour register at six — with applied baton hour markers and the iconic red "Daytona" script at center. *Reference 126502 is an off-catalog model, produced in very limited numbers and allocated exclusively through select authorized dealers.
