One hundred years of the 24 Hours of Le Mans deserved more than a standard Daytona, and Rolex answered with the 126529LN — a white gold chronograph carrying a tricolour seconds hand in the blue, white, and red of the French flag. Limited availability at authorized dealers made this centenary tribute one of the most sought-after Daytonas of 2023, and the replica market responded immediately.

The 126529LN Le Mans Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
White gold gives the 126529LN a weight and lustre that Oystersteel cannot replicate — approximately 30% heavier on the wrist, with a cooler tone visible along the polished case flanks. The black dial features three contrasting subdials and the signature tricolour central seconds hand: blue near the pinion, white at centre, red at the tip.
The Oyster bracelet in matching white gold completes the package. Compare this with other special-edition references in our Daytona collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two chronograph calibers are offered for this Le Mans edition:
- Swiss Automatic — column-wheel chronograph at 28,800 vph, ~72-hour power reserve. Vertical clutch for zero-reset-lag and smooth seconds start, matching Caliber 4130 function.
- Japanese Automatic — cam-lever chronograph with 40+ hour reserve. Reliable timing function at a lower entry point.
Both movements drive the 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers plus running seconds.
