Reference: 126500LN
The 126500LN is the current-production steel Daytona with the white "Panda" dial—white background with black subdials. It runs on the in-house Caliber 4130 movement, a column-wheel chronograph Rolex developed specifically for the Daytona line. The movement features a vertical clutch for smoother chronograph operation and a 72-hour power reserve. The black Cerachrom bezel replaced the previous steel bezel, adding scratch resistance and a sharper aesthetic contrast against the white dial.
The Daytona's origin story is tied to racing—specifically the Daytona International Speedway in Florida, where Rolex has been the official timepiece since 1962. Paul Newman's association with the model created collector hysteria that continues today. The steel Daytona remains one of the most difficult Rolex models to acquire at retail, with waitlists stretching years. The Panda configuration is particularly sought after for its clean, high-contrast legibility.
