Thanks for contacting us! We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Le Mans 126525LN in 18K Everose gold is one of the most exclusive modern Rolex chronographs. Released quietly in 2025 as an off-catalogue model, it is the third chapter of the Le Mans Daytona series that began in white gold in 2023 and continued in yellow gold in 2024. Its bright black dial, contrasting white sub-dials, red "100" on the bezel and a movement made only for this series make it a reference every serious Rolex collector knows.

Why "Le Mans"?
The name links the Daytona to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's most famous endurance race. Early Rolex Cosmograph batches from the 1960s even carried "Le Mans" on the dial before the Daytona name was adopted. In 2023, to celebrate the race's 100th anniversary and the Daytona's 60th, Rolex launched the white gold 126529LN. The yellow gold version followed in 2024, and the Everose 126525LN arrived in 2025, each produced for a limited period.
Design: Bright Black Dial and Red 100
The bright black dial with white sub-dials gives the 126525LN a strong panda-style contrast. Its square-tipped hash marks, crosshair sub-dial details and Art Deco-style numerals are inspired by the vintage "exotic" Daytona dials made famous by Paul Newman's reference 6239. On the black Cerachrom bezel, the usual "120" is replaced by a red ceramic 100, marking the Le Mans centenary. Everose gold hour markers and hands are coated with Chromalight luminescence, and the case and bracelet are made in Everose, Rolex's proprietary 18K pink gold alloy.
Movement: Calibre 4132 With 24-Hour Counter
The Calibre 4132 is a version of the Daytona's Calibre 4131 developed for the Le Mans series. Its key difference is the 24-hour chronograph counter at 9 o'clock, which replaces the usual 12-hour counter and lets you time an entire endurance race. It offers a 72-hour power reserve, and unusually for a Rolex sports watch, it can be seen through a sapphire case back, showing the Everose gold rotor and Côtes de Genève decoration.

- Off-catalogue Rolex with very restricted availability
- Exclusive Calibre 4132 with a 24-hour chronograph counter
- One of the few Rolex sports models with a display case back
- Part of a short-run series that collectors follow closely
