The 126508 in yellow gold with a bright black dial carries the DNA of the celebrated Paul Newman Daytonas, where gold case meets dark dial for maximum visual impact. Diamond-set hour markers catch light against the lacquered surface while golden subdial rings tie the composition back to the all-gold Oyster bracelet. See every reference in our Daytona collection.

The 126508 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The 40mm case is rendered entirely in yellow gold, with a polished finish that flows from bezel to lugs without interruption. The fixed bezel carries an engraved tachymetric scale directly into the metal — no ceramic insert on this reference, keeping the look unmistakably classic Daytona.
On the dial, bright black lacquer creates depth beneath diamond hour markers and three recessed chronograph registers surrounded by golden rings. The contrast between the black surface and gold accents gives this reference its signature presence.
The three-link Oyster bracelet in matching yellow gold connects via a folding Oysterclasp with integrated comfort extension. Flat polished center links alternate with brushed outer links for textural variety.
