The turquoise Daytona, which arrived in 2025 rather than with the 2023 generation.

The 126518LN is the yellow gold Daytona on the Oysterflex strap: black Cerachrom bezel edged in yellow gold, calibre 4131, introduced with the 2023 generation. The turquoise dial came two years later, at Watches and Wonders in April 2025. Rolex describes it as turquoise blue lacquer, with black counters, 18 ct gold hour markers and gold hands filled with black lacquer and Chromalight.

The trade calls it the Tiffany Daytona, after the shade. Tiffany has nothing to do with it, and Rolex has never used the name; its earlier turquoise dial was on the Oyster Perpetual of 2020. SJX described the 126518LN as the first watch to put a turquoise dial with a ceramic bezel, a panda layout and pencil-shaped hour markers together, and that combination is what sets it apart from every other Daytona.

It is not offered on a bracelet, so a gold-bracelet turquoise Daytona does not exist. The same reference has other dials, a meteorite among them since 2025, so the dial is the first thing to name in a brief. Availability and timing are confirmed for your request before you commit to anything.

If it has to be turquoise, it has to be the 126518LN: the 116518LN was never made with that dial. If it is the yellow gold Oysterflex Daytona you want and the dial is open, the 116518LN widens the search.

Both are yellow gold on calibre 4131 and both coloured dials arrived in 2025. If it has to be turquoise, this is the reference. If gold on gold matters more than the dial, the 126508 is the brief.

Each page is a guide to the reference and how we source it, not a listing. If yours is not here, ask anyway.

Sourced to your brief, itemised before you decide

Nothing on this page is stock. Tell us what matters and we find the watch that fits.

The brief

Whether only the turquoise dial will do, or whether the other 126518LN dials are open to you. Say if an unworn, full-set example is the requirement.

Availability and timing

Confirmed for each request from our network, before you commit to anything. We tell you what is realistic rather than quote a date we cannot keep.

What accompanies the watch

Box, warranty card, booklets, tags and any spare strap are itemised for the individual watch we propose.

What we check on a 126518LN

That the warranty card names the turquoise dial and a date from 2025 on, since the dial did not exist before; the gold rim round the bezel; and the Oysterflex itself, the part of this watch that wears first, along with the Glidelock clasp. Service history and any verification you want are set out for the piece.

Frequently asked questions

When did Rolex release the turquoise Daytona?

At Watches and Wonders in April 2025. The 126518LN reference had been introduced in 2023 with other dials; the turquoise was added to it two years later.

Is this the Tiffany Daytona?

It is the watch the trade calls that. Rolex calls the colour turquoise blue and has no association with Tiffany; the nickname comes from the shade.

Is the turquoise Daytona available on a bracelet?

No. Rolex makes it only on the Oysterflex. For a yellow gold Daytona on a gold bracelet, the 126508 is the reference, with its own green dial.

How do I tell a 126518LN from a 116518LN?

The 126518LN has a thin yellow gold rim round its ceramic bezel and calibre 4131; the 116518LN of 2017 has ceramic to the edge and calibre 4130. A turquoise dial can only be a 126518LN.

Can I pay in crypto?

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.
