The Rolex Daytona 126508 in 18k yellow gold with a green sunburst dial is a bold and luxurious update to one of the brand’s most iconic chronographs. This reference continues the legacy of the highly coveted “John Mayer” Daytona, updated in 2025 with subtle refinements and enhanced performance. The vivid green dial—often celebrated for its radiant sunray finish—features gold-trimmed subdials and luminous hour markers, offering both visual richness and legibility.

The 40mm Oyster case houses Rolex’s latest-generation Caliber 4131, a chronograph movement that improves upon its predecessor with optimized efficiency, enhanced shock resistance, and a 72-hour power reserve. Paired with an Oyster bracelet in matching yellow gold and equipped with the Easylink comfort extension, the watch blends sporting functionality with elegant luxury. Revered by collectors and enthusiasts alike, the Daytona 126508 Green Dial remains a modern classic—now made even more compelling with Rolex’s latest technical advancements.

The Rolex Daytona 126508 with green dial is one of the most coveted configurations in the Cosmograph Daytona lineup, refreshed in 2025 with subtle design evolutions. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, its 40mm case retains the classic proportions of the Daytona while offering a sleeker, more refined silhouette thanks to the model's updated geometry introduced in recent iterations.

The vibrant sunburst green dial continues to captivate with its luminous intensity and dynamic color play. Three contrasting gold chronograph subdials provide both functional utility and a balanced aesthetic, framed by applied gold hour markers and Chromalight-filled hands for excellent legibility in any lighting condition.

The fixed yellow gold bezel features the engraved tachymeter scale, a defining hallmark of the Daytona’s motorsport heritage. The pushers and crown are screw-down, contributing to the watch’s robust 100-meter water resistance while preserving the sleek profile of the case.

Powered by the upgraded Rolex Caliber 4131, this model offers improved efficiency, enhanced precision, and an elegant skeletonized rotor visible through the sapphire caseback—a first for the Daytona line introduced in its 60th anniversary update. This movement delivers a 72-hour power reserve and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring unmatched reliability and accuracy.

Paired with a solid yellow gold Oyster bracelet featuring polished center links, brushed outer links, and the Easylink comfort extension system, the Daytona 126508 delivers a seamless combination of luxury and performance. This reference remains one of the most desirable configurations in Rolex’s catalog, especially for collectors who appreciate bold design and iconic status.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
