The Daytona for people who would rather not be asked about it.
White gold is the Daytona's understatement. From across a table the 126519LN reads as the steel watch; on the wrist it is noticeably heavier, and the case takes a deeper polish than Oystersteel ever does. The black Cerachrom bezel and the Oysterflex strap keep the whole thing dark, which is most of the point.
Underneath it is the 2023 generation: calibre 4131, 72 hours, the redrawn case. Rolex has offered the white gold Daytona in several dials over the years, and the ones that come up are not always the one you had in mind, so it is worth telling us early how firm you are on the dial.
Oysterflex complicates sourcing slightly: the strap is a wear item, and a watch that has been worn hard shows it there first. We set out the condition of the strap and the clasp separately from the watch, because replacing one is straightforward and replacing the other is not.
