The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126500LN, widely known as the “Panda”, is one of the most sought-after modern Rolex sports models. Crafted in Oystersteel and fitted with the iconic Oyster bracelet, this latest-generation Daytona refines the design of its predecessor while preserving the unmistakable panda dial aesthetic.
The crisp white dial is contrasted by black chronograph sub-dials, creating the signature “Panda” look that collectors highly value. Applied hour markers and hands are filled with Chromalight, delivering a long-lasting blue glow in low light. The updated black Cerachrom bezel features an engraved tachymetric scale, framed by a refined metal surround that enhances durability and visual definition.
At the heart of the 126500LN is the in-house Rolex calibre 4131 automatic movement. This next-generation chronograph calibre incorporates improved energy efficiency, a Chronergy escapement and a 72-hour power reserve, while maintaining Superlative Chronometer precision of −2/+2 seconds per day.
The 40mm Oyster case offers water resistance to 100 metres, ensuring robustness to match its racing heritage. The combination of Oystersteel construction, black ceramic bezel and high-contrast dial makes the Rolex Daytona 126500LN Panda both sporty and versatile.
As one of the most desirable current-production Daytona references, the Panda 126500LN remains exceptionally strong in global demand and is considered a cornerstone piece within any serious Rolex collection.
