In 2023, Rolex celebrated the 60th anniversary of the iconic Daytona Cosmograph, which first premiered in 1963 and today is one of the most sought after and iconic timepieces ever produced. The anniversary ushered in an all new movement for the Daytona, the caliber 4131, now using Rolex’s highly accurate and efficient Chronergy escapement.
Introduced in 2024 with the updated caliber 4131 and reformatted dial layout, the reference 126598TBR is an extremely luxurious iteration of the coveted Daytona. The bezel is fitted with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds, all internally flawless, and the hour markers are baguette-cut diamonds. Each lug is set with round brilliant diamonds. Aside from the red text of “Daytona” above the 60 minute counter, each aspect of the 126598TBR has been Midas-touched with silky yellow gold and crowned in vibrant diamonds.
In absolutely near new and unworn condition, the present “Midas Touch” Daytona comes from the original owner, complete with all original accessories, having been sold in October of 2024.

Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
