This Pre-Owned Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126505‑0001 is a highly refined and technically updated evolution of the Daytona line in 18K Rose gold. The 40mm Oyster case is machined from a solid block of rose gold and paired with a matching fixed tachymeter bezel, also in rose gold, engraved with precise graduations used to measure average speeds up to 400 units per hour. This bezel, combined with the Daytona’s classic three‑register chronograph layout, continues the model’s longstanding association with high‑performance motorsport.
The dial of the 126505‑0001 is one of its defining features. Presented in bright black with contrasting Sundust sub‑dials, it offers excellent visual depth and functionality. Each of the three spray‑coated chronograph counters serves a specific timing purpose: a 30‑minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12‑hour counter at 9 o’clock, and a small‑seconds register at 6 o’clock. The dial is fitted with 18k gold appliqué hour markers and hands treated with Chromalight luminescent material, producing a long‑lasting blue glow to ensure clarity in low‑light conditions. Everything is designed for readability and precision, supporting the Daytona’s core identity as a professional timing instrument.
At the heart of the watch is the Caliber 4131, Rolex’s updated self‑winding chronograph movement. It incorporates enhancements in efficiency, shock resistance, and finishing compared to its predecessor. The movement delivers a 72‑hour power reserve, supported by a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, both engineered for stability and resistance to magnetic fields and vibration. As with all modern Rolex watches, the movement is a Superlative Chronometer, meaning it exceeds COSC accuracy standards after casing and undergoes additional in‑house testing to ensure reliability. The chronograph mechanism uses a vertical clutch and column wheel for smooth operation and precise pusher feel.
Durability and functionality continue into the external engineering. The case offers 100‑meter water resistance, secured by a screw‑down caseback, screw‑down pushers, and a Triplock crown system engineered for triple‑layer waterproof protection. A scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial while maintaining clarity from edge to edge. These features ensure the watch performs reliably in a wide range of daily and sporty conditions despite its precious‑metal construction.
The watch is completed with an 18K rose gold Oyster bracelet, crafted with three‑piece solid links for strength and comfort. It is secured with the Folding Oysterlock safety clasp, designed to prevent accidental opening, and features the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to fine‑tune the fit during temperature or activity changes.
