Rolex Daytona 126528LN Le Mans 100th Anniversary
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126528LN Le Mans was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race and is one of the most collectible and sought-after modern Daytona editions. Crafted from 18K yellow gold with a black Cerachrom bezel and a special Le Mans dial, the model combines motorsport heritage, haute horlogerie, and unique collectible value.
Le Mans Dial with Paul Newman Influences
The black dial with white counters is inspired by the historic "Paul Newman" Daytonas, offering a vintage racing aesthetic with modern execution. The special subdial layout, the red "100" detail on the tachymeter bezel, and the 24-hour chronograph counter highlight the anniversary character of the model.
18K Yellow Gold & Cerachrom Bezel
The 40mm 18K yellow gold case offers an impressive presence on the wrist, while the black Cerachrom bezel enhances the sporty character of the Daytona. The yellow gold Oyster bracelet completes the premium aesthetic, maintaining the durability and comfort characteristic of Rolex sports watches.
Calibre 4132 – Special Le Mans Movement
The Rolex Daytona 126528LN is equipped with the automatic chronograph movement Calibre 4132, specially developed for the Le Mans edition. Unlike classic Daytonas, it features a 24-hour chronograph counter, inspired by the duration of the historic Le Mans race. The movement offers top-tier accuracy, reliability, and a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
