18 ct yellow gold · engraved gold bezel · Oyster bracelet · 40 mm
Gold from bezel to clasp, and since 2025 a lighter green dial with golden counters in place of the 116508's darker green. Sourced to your brief, without the waiting list.
The 126508 is the yellow gold Cosmograph Daytona on the yellow gold Oyster bracelet, with the tachymetric scale engraved into a gold bezel rather than moulded into ceramic. Rolex introduced it at Watches and Wonders in March 2023, the Daytona's sixtieth year, as part of the generation that moved to calibre 4131.
The green dial came later. Rolex added it quietly in 2025 as 126508-0008, which Rolex calls bright green and golden: a lighter green than before, with the chronograph counters in gold. It took over from the 116508-0013, the darker "Rolex Green" dial of 2016 that collectors call the John Mayer after he described it as a sleeper on Hodinkee's Talking Watches in 2019. Rolex has never used the nickname.
So "the green gold Daytona" can mean two watches. The counters settle it at a glance: gold on the 126508, not on the 116508. The newer case is also about half a millimetre slimmer, at 11.9 mm, with reshaped lugs, smaller hour markers and thinner rings round the counters. Tell us which one you have in mind, or that either will do; availability and timing are confirmed for your request before you commit to anything.
| 126508-0008 | 116508-0013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Green dial issued | 2025 | 2016 |
| Shade | Lighter green | Darker "Rolex Green" |
| Counters | Gold-toned | Not gold |
| Calibre | 4131, Chronergy escapement | 4130 |
| Case | About 11.9 mm, reshaped lugs | About half a millimetre thicker |
If it is the John Mayer you have seen, it is the 116508-0013 and we look for that one. If you want green on yellow gold on the current movement, ask for the 126508-0008; a brief that accepts both is quicker to fill.
| 126508 | 126518LN | |
|---|---|---|
| Bezel | Engraved yellow gold | Black Cerachrom with a gold rim |
| Worn on | Yellow gold Oyster bracelet | Oysterflex strap |
| Clasp extension | Easylink, 5 mm | Glidelock |
| Coloured dial | Green, from 2025 | Turquoise, from 2025 |
Same metal, case and calibre. The 126508 is gold from bezel to clasp; the 126518LN breaks the gold up with ceramic and a strap, which is most of why it reads younger.

The dial, and whether you mean the 2025 green with golden counters or the earlier 116508 green. Say if a particular year, a full set or an unworn example matters.
Confirmed for each request from our network, before you commit to anything. We tell you what is realistic rather than what you would like to hear.
Box, warranty card, booklets, tags and spare links are itemised for the individual watch we propose.
That the dial suffix on the warranty card matches the dial (-0008 for the green), that the counters are the gold-toned ones, and the state of the engraved gold bezel, which shows wear and polishing in a way ceramic does not. Service history and any verification you want are set out for the piece.
Send the reference by WhatsApp or the form, with the dial, set and timing that matter to you. A collection or a style is enough to begin.
We go to our network rather than a boutique list, and come back with what is realistic on availability and timing before you commit to anything.
Condition, documents and what accompanies the watch are set out in writing for the individual piece we propose. You decide with the details in front of you.
Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Collection in London or fully insured delivery, agreed for the watch and the destination.
Any brand, any reference, whether or not it appears on this site. Tell us what you have in mind and we take it from there.
It is its successor. The nickname belongs to the 116508-0013, the darker green dial of 2016. The 126508-0008 replaced it in 2025 with a lighter green and gold-toned counters, on calibre 4131.
In 2025. The 126508 reference itself dates from March 2023, but the green dial was added two years later, without an announcement at the launch.
On the green dial, look at the counters: gold on the 126508, not on the 116508. The 126508 also has smaller hour markers, thinner counter rings and a case about 11.9 mm thick, and its warranty card reads 126508.
Yes, that is what we do. We go to our network rather than a boutique list. Availability and timing are confirmed for each request before you commit to anything.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto; Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer.
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
