“Gold Daytona”
Rank #96 of 110 rated pieces in the Rolex Vault
Market range centered on the median of 6 recorded eBay sales in the last 12 months (thin data, treat as a guide).
Median recorded eBay sale price for each quarter with 3 or more sales. Dashed line marks the 2026 retail price.
The full yellow gold Daytona on the matching gold Oyster bracelet, the current generation launched in 2023 with calibre 4131. It is the same watch as the 126518LN, with a solid gold bracelet instead of the black Oysterflex strap.
One reference covers several dials, and the dial moves the price. Black and champagne dials have sold for about $49,000 to $59,000 on eBay in the last year; the green dial collectors call the John Mayer has sold for $72,700 and $80,000.
It is a thin market: six recorded eBay sales in twelve months, so a single sale can move the median.
Unlike the steel Daytona, it trades close to its $55,200 retail, so the boutique and the market are not far apart.
Our verdict: Trades near retail, not double it. Dial is everything: the green one carries the premium, black and champagne trade around the sticker.
