Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oyster, 40 mm, Yellow Gold Ref.126518LN – Yellow Gold “Tiffany‑Blue”

This Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is crafted in 18 ct yellow gold with a turquoise and black dial and an Oysterflex bracelet , featuring a black Cerachrom bezel and engraved tachymetric scale.
OYSTERFLEX STRAP
Strong and durable resistance
The 18 ct gold Cosmograph Daytona models with Cerachrom bezels are fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet. Developed by Rolex and patented, this bracelet uniquely combines the durability of a metal bracelet with the comfort of an elastic strap.

It is made from two curved, flexible metal blades – one for each strap section – moulded with black high-performance elastomer. For optimum comfort, the Oysterflex bracelet is fitted with padding on the inner sides and features an Oysterlock safety clasp to prevent accidental opening. The length of the bracelet can be adjusted via the ingenious Rolex slide-style extension system.

18 CT GOLD
Committed to Excellence
Thanks to its own foundry, Rolex is able to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. In proportions of silver, copper, platinum or palladium, Rolex produces 18 ct gold: yellow, rose or white gold.

They are made from the purest metals and meticulously tested in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is shaped and crafted with the utmost care and quality. Rolex’s commitment to excellence begins with the raw materials.

TURQUOISE WATCH DIAL
Combine counter with stopwatch function
This model combines a turquoise and black dial with spiral counters, diamond-set hour markers and 18 ct gold hands with a Chromalight display, made of easy-to-read luminescent material.

This watch face allows racers to track race times and strategize.

TACHYMETRIC SCALE
High performance timer
A key part of the style of the line is the bezel, which features a tachymetric scale for measuring average speeds up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour. Blending high-tech with understated aesthetics, the black bezel is a nod to the 1965 model, which was fitted with a black Plexiglas bezel insert.

The Cerachrom monobloc bezel in high-tech ceramic offers several advantages: it is corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant and unaffected by UV rays. The extremely durable bezel shape offers an exceptionally clear tachymetric scale, thanks to a thin layer of platinum applied to the numerals and graduations using a PVD process. The Cerachrom monobloc bezel is made from a single piece of material and holds the crystal firmly in place on the case, ensuring waterproofness. Shell model
