Daytona Paul Newman ''New Full Sticker ''

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126518LN is a contemporary tribute to one of the most iconic chronographs in watch history, the “Paul Newman” Daytona. Released in 2023, this reference combines modern performance with strong visual nods to vintage Rolex heritage. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the watch features a 40mm case that maintains the Daytona’s unmistakable proportions and sporty elegance.

One of the most striking aspects of this reference is its black lacquer dial with champagne-colored sub-dials, a clear homage to the legendary “Paul Newman” dial configuration. The contrasting tones evoke the charm of vintage Daytonas from the 1960s and '70s, while the updated fonts, applied hour markers, and Chromalight lume ensure it remains thoroughly modern and legible.

The bezel is made from black Cerachrom ceramic, highly resistant to scratches and fading, with an engraved tachymetric scale that allows precise speed measurement. This material adds a contemporary edge to the warm tones of yellow gold, striking a perfect balance between luxury and sportiness.

Powering the 126518LN is the new-generation Rolex Caliber 4131, introduced in 2023. This self-winding mechanical chronograph movement is a direct evolution of the reliable 4130, now with improved efficiency and refined aesthetics. It features Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, a Paraflex shock absorber, and offers a 72-hour power reserve. The 4131 is a COSC-certified chronometer and also bears Rolex’s in-house Superlative Chronometer certification for precision and reliability.

The watch is mounted on a black Oysterflex bracelet, Rolex’s high-tech elastomer strap reinforced with flexible metal blades for durability and comfort. It includes an 18k yellow gold Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension system, allowing for precise micro-adjustments without the need for tools.

The Rolex Daytona 126518LN represents a fusion of past and present—vintage-inspired in design, but unmistakably modern in build and performance. It’s a bold yet refined timepiece that captures the spirit of the original Paul Newman Daytona while delivering the robustness and innovation expected from today’s Rolex. Already in high demand, this model is a future classic and a standout addition to any serious collection.
