Since 1969 Rolex has offered its legendary chronograph in solid 18 kt yellow gold. Today’s Rolex Daytona yellow‑gold line—ref. 126508, 126518LN (Oysterflex), and the cult‑favorite 116508 “John Mayer”—blends racing pedigree with horological refinement. Powered by the in‑house Calibre 4131 (or 4130 on earlier 1165xx pieces), these 40 mm chronographs deliver 72‑hour power reserve, screw‑down pushers and 100 m water‑resistance.
