The Rolex Daytona 126505 in rose gold with the new bright chocolate dial is one of the standout configurations from Rolex’s 2025 lineup. This reference continues the evolution of the brand’s most iconic chronograph with subtle but impactful updates, offering collectors a harmonious blend of technical precision and warm-toned elegance.

The 40mm rose gold case is finished to Rolex’s exacting standards, with polished lugs and brushed sides that enhance the richness of the proprietary rose gold alloy. The matching fixed tachymeter bezel is engraved and filled with black lacquer, preserving the Daytona’s signature racing DNA while maintaining a monochromatic elegance.

The bright chocolate sunburst dial is the centerpiece of this reference. Richer and more saturated than previous variants, the updated tone delivers greater vibrancy and depth, especially when hit by light. The dial layout features rose gold-rimmed subdials in black, creating a high-contrast, legible display that adds balance and dimension. Applied rose gold hour markers and hands are filled with Chromalight for optimal legibility in low light.

Inside, the Daytona 126505 houses the next-generation Rolex Caliber 4131, now equipped with the Chronergy escapement, improved shock resistance, and an enhanced skeletonized rotor. This movement, visible through the exhibition caseback—a first for modern Daytonas—offers a 72-hour power reserve and exceptional precision, certified to Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard.

Paired with the solid-link rose gold Oyster bracelet and Oysterlock safety clasp, the Daytona 126505 offers refined sportiness and timeless appeal. The bright chocolate dial update elevates this configuration into a highly desirable modern classic for collectors drawn to the softer side of luxury chronographs.
