The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a chronograph with a tachymetric bezel, designed to measure elapsed time and average speed. Explore steel references such as the 116500LN and 126500LN alongside gold and platinum configurations.
This page is the Cosmograph Daytona family shop: steel ceramic (Panda and black dial), yellow gold, Everose, white gold, platinum, and older generations when listed. Match metal and reference first, then dial. For every other Rolex, start at the Rolex brand hub.
Modern automatic Daytonas run Calibre 4130 (through early 2020s) or Calibre 4131 (2023+). The tachymeter bezel is the family signature. Bizak & Co. is an independent Miami Beach dealer, not a Rolex authorized retailer. Watches are sourced to order — ask for photos of the specific watch before you pay the balance.

Counts are catalogue listings on this page on 30 Sep 2026 (273 in total): watches we can source to order, not stock held. “Panda” is the collector nickname for the steel white-dial, black-counter ceramic Daytona, usually the 116500LN; confirm the dial on photos of the specific watch.

|---|---|---|
| Vintage manual | 6239 · 6263 · 6265 · … | Exotic / Paul Newman dials when listed. |
| Zenith / early automatic | 16520 · 16528 | Pre-in-house; present in the grid when listed. |

Start with the complete reference, dial, and bracelet (or Oysterflex), then compare condition, service history, and included box and papers. 116500LN and 126500LN are different reference families — compare like with like. Include preferred dial, condition, and budget in a sourcing request. We confirm the actual piece and final price before you pay the balance; authentication happens before dispatch.
126500LN (2023+) uses Calibre 4131 and a revised sub-dial layout; 116500LN (2016–2023) used Calibre 4130. Both are steel with black Cerachrom and a white (“Panda”) or black dial.
Availability depends on the exact reference, dial, and condition. A catalogue listing does not mean Bizak owns that watch today. Ask us to check the specific configuration and current sourcing price.
