Rolex Daytona Panda Dial

Reference 126500LN in its white "Panda" configuration pairs a white dial with black contrasting subdials, in a 40mm Oystersteel case with the black Cerachrom bezel insert introduced when Rolex moved the Daytona to an in-house movement built entirely within its own manufacture rather than sourced externally. The Panda name comes purely from the dial's black-and-white contrast, and it is the configuration most associated with the Daytona in popular reference, well ahead of the all-black or other dial colours produced on the same case over the years.

The current Daytona case uses a monobloc Cerachrom bezel rather than the older metal insert, and the pushers are screw-down rather than the pump pushers of earlier generations, both changes that came with this reference when it replaced the previous steel Daytona line entirely in Rolex's catalogue. The three-register chronograph layout is unchanged in principle from the model's earliest form in the 1960s, even as the case and movement underneath it have been rebuilt from the ground up over successive generations.

126500LN has been one of the most requested references across all of Rolex's current catalogue since its release, and clean, complete examples with box and papers move quickly once sourced from any market Clutch works in. Dial print sharpness and bracelet stretch are both checked closely given how actively this specific reference is traded. Every piece Clutch offers is independently authenticated through Legit Grails, with full condition notes shared before any commitment. Subdial print sharpness and any signs of case polishing are both examined closely before a piece like this is confirmed. Enquire to discuss availability.
