Rolex Daytona 126509 White Gold Bright Blue Dial (2025)

The Rolex Daytona 126509 with bright blue dial is a striking 2025 release that pairs timeless chronograph functionality with the refined elegance of solid 18k white gold. Its 40mm case is meticulously polished, giving the watch a lustrous presence on the wrist, while the matching white gold bezel—engraved with a tachymeter scale—reinforces the Daytona’s legacy as a motorsport icon.

The bright blue sunburst dial sets this reference apart, offering a vivid, radiant finish that shifts with changing light. Contrasting black subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock are framed with polished rings, enhancing legibility and creating a bold visual balance. Luminous hour markers and hands ensure readability in all lighting conditions, and the color palette delivers a crisp, modern aesthetic rarely seen in the Daytona line.

Powering the watch is Rolex’s new-generation Caliber 4131, which debuts in recent Daytona models. The movement incorporates a skeletonized rotor and Rolex’s Chronergy escapement, improving efficiency while offering a 72-hour power reserve. For the first time in a Daytona 1265xx-series white gold model, the transparent sapphire caseback reveals the intricately finished movement—a significant update for collectors.

The watch is paired with a matching solid white gold Oyster bracelet, complete with polished center links, satin-finished outer links, and an Oysterlock clasp with Easylink extension for precise comfort adjustments.

Refined, bold, and technically advanced, the Daytona 126509 with bright blue dial delivers a distinctive modern look within the lineage of one of Rolex’s most celebrated models—making it an ideal choice for collectors who seek sporty elegance with elevated finishing.
