Rolex Daytona 126508 'John Mayer 2.0' Yellow Gold Bright Green and Golden Dial (2025)

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.
