Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Steel Black 126500LN

Overview 

The 126500LN black-dial variant is the companion to the white panda already in the catalogue — same steel case, same black Cerachrom tachymeter bezel, but a black lacquer dial rather than a white one. The black-on-black configuration trades legibility for visual cohesion, and that is precisely its appeal.

The case is 40mm Oystersteel with a black Cerachrom tachymeter bezel and a thin stainless steel ring surround — a design detail that nods to the metal-bezel Daytonas of earlier generations. The dial is black lacquer with three black sub-dials: 30-minute counter at 3, 12-hour counter at 6, running seconds at 9. The overall effect is dark and visually unified at a distance, with the sub-dial counters readable only on direct inspection. The Oyster bracelet is brushed steel throughout.

Calibre 4131, 72-hour power reserve. Column-wheel vertical-clutch chronograph — identical specification to the white panda variant.

Between the white panda and the black dial, the white panda commands a consistent secondary premium — the contrast and legibility of the white dial drives stronger sustained demand. The black variant trades at a meaningful discount to the white, reflected in the RM122,000 here versus the white panda at RM146,500. For buyers who specifically want the all-dark configuration, that secondary discount is a rational argument for this piece over the white. This piece is currently sold out, complete with box and papers dated September 2025, at RM122,000.
