Rolex Daytona Green

The Rolex Daytona with a green dial is available exclusively in 18-carat yellow gold. Reference 116508 was launched in 2016 and is known among collectors by the name of the musician John Mayer, who made it famous. Since 2023 it has been succeeded by the 126508 with the new calibre 4131. Both pair the rich green dial with black sub-dials and a yellow gold Oyster bracelet, making them among the most striking versions of the Cosmograph Daytona.

116508 or 126508: the differences

Visually, the two references are very close: both measure 40 mm and feature a yellow gold bezel with a tachymeter scale. The older 116508 is powered by calibre 4130 with a power reserve of around 72 hours. The 126508 houses the further developed calibre 4131 with Chronergy escapement, likewise with around 72 hours of power reserve, along with slightly revised proportions on the case and sub-dials. If the current movement matters to you, choose the 126508; if you are looking for the reference with the nickname, the 116508 is the one. Both models rank among the most sought-after gold Daytonas, and supply is correspondingly scarce.
