Rolex - Daytona 126529LN, special version for the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Enriching the latest generation of the Daytona collection presented last March, the new reference 126529LN is crafted in 18 ct white gold and is equipped with a Cerachrom bezel in black ceramic edged with a fine band, also in 18 ct white gold. 

On the tachymetric scale, the number 100 in red ceramic serves as a reminder of the race’s centenary. 

The dial features counters whose graphic design is inspired by a traditional Rolex dial of the past (you can read the history of the Rolex Daytona here). 

The 40 mm Oyster case is water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet and is fitted with a transparent back and a white gold Oyster bracelet alternating satin brushed and polished surfaces.

This original watch is equipped with calibre 4132. This adaptation of calibre 4131 makes it possible to count the hours using the chronograph function over twenty-four hours instead of the model’s usual twelve. 

Calibre 4132 incorporates the Chronergy escapement and Paraflex shock absorbers. It also features new finishes and decorations, including bridges embellished with Rolex Côtes de Genève. The cut-out oscillating weight in 18 ct yellow gold is equipped with an optimized ball bearing.

Like all Rolex watches, this special version of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist. 

The suggested retail price of the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is CHF 49,000.https://luxuryoline.com/
