Pre-Owned Rolex Daytona

Buying a Pre-Owned Rolex Daytona

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is Rolex's 40 mm chronograph, developed for motor sport in 1963. Its three-counter dial and tachymeter bezel for reading average speed are its core features. 126500LN is the current steel Daytona. On discontinued references such as 116500LN, 116520 and 16520, inspect dial, bezel, case shape and service history carefully. Every watch at ART Jewellery & Watches is inspected by specialists before sale.

Pre-Owned Rolex Daytona Prices

Pre-owned Rolex Daytona prices depend on reference or model generation, case material, size, movement, bracelet or strap, dial and condition. Two watches from the same family can be assessed differently because of service history, accessories and part originality. Case material, reference, dial, bezel, Oyster or Oysterflex bracelet and accessories affect price. Chronograph operation and reset should always be tested.

Which Rolex Daytona Is Right for You?

Daytona is 40 mm, so material, dial and bracelet are the primary choices. Steel is sportier, while precious metal is heavier and more noticeable. Oyster is classic and Oysterflex feels more modern.
