Replica Rolex Daytona m126503-0004 40mm

Golden dial, black rings

Reference 126503-0004 is the steel and yellow gold Daytona with a golden dial. On the photos the counters are golden too, but each is circled by a black ring, which gives the face structure without a full contrast colour. The batons and hands are gold tone, and DAYTONA is printed in red.

126503-0004 specifications

A very gold two-tone

With a golden dial and gold-tone bezel, this one looks very gold, while the case flanks and outer links stay 904L steel. Compare it with the white 126503-0001 if you want a lighter face. Sapphire crystal and the 30 m limit (rain yes, pool no) are the same on all.

Movement

Japanese: Miyota-based automatic chronograph, 21,600 vph. Swiss: built to follow the 4130 chronograph, 28,800 vph. Both run the counters in the same positions. Background on Daytona builds is in our BTF vs Clean Daytona comparison. Other colours are on the Daytona shop page.

Is the golden dial the same as champagne?

It is close. On the photos it is a slightly deeper gold than the champagne dials, and the counters have black outer rings.
