Daytona Le Mans

Rolex released the Le Mans Daytona in 2023 to mark the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the race the brand has timed since 2001. The details reward a close look: the tachymeter scale runs to 400 instead of the usual 240, the 100 is picked out in red, and an exhibition caseback reveals the movement, a first for a modern gold Daytona. What makes it truly rare is its status. The Le Mans is an off-catalog reference, never listed on the Rolex website and offered only to top VIP clients at flagship dealers. We stock both the original white gold 126529LN and the Everose 126525LN that followed, each authenticated in-house. No purchase history required, no waiting.

The Rolex Daytona "Le Mans" is one of the most exclusive modern Rolex releases — an off-catalog Cosmograph Daytona created to honor the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The series launched with the white gold 126529LN in June 2023 for the race's 100th anniversary, followed by the yellow gold 126528LN in 2024, and the Everose gold 126525LN in 2025.

Why the Le Mans Daytona matters

The Le Mans is unlike any other modern Daytona. The black Cerachrom bezel displays the "100" in red on the tachymeter scale — a nod to the centenary — and the exotic-style dial with contrasting counters echoes the legendary Paul Newman Daytonas. Most significantly, the counter at 6 o'clock tracks 24 hours instead of 12, matching the length of the race, powered by the specially developed Calibre 4132. As an off-catalog release, the Le Mans never appears on Rolex's website or in authorized dealer displays — it is allocated privately to the brand's top clients, making the secondary market effectively the only way to acquire one.

The release order

Rolex has released one Le Mans reference per year, each timed around the running of the race: the 126529LN in white gold (2023) — the original centenary release — the 126528LN in yellow gold (2024), and the 126525LN in Everose gold (2025). Each is produced in extremely limited numbers relative to the standard Daytona line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rolex Daytona Le Mans?

The Le Mans is an off-catalog Cosmograph Daytona released to honor the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It features an exotic Paul Newman-style dial, a red "100" on the bezel's tachymeter scale, and a 24-hour counter at 6 o'clock instead of the standard 12-hour counter.

What order did the Le Mans references come out?

The white gold 126529LN came first in June 2023, marking the 100th anniversary of the race. The yellow gold 126528LN followed in 2024, and the Everose gold 126525LN completed the trio in 2025.

What does "off catalog" mean?

Off-catalog Rolex models are produced and sold without ever appearing in the public catalog or on Rolex's website. They are offered privately by authorized dealers to their most established clients, which makes them dramatically harder to obtain than standard production models. Browse our full Rolex Off-Catalog collection.

What is the difference between the Le Mans and the "Baby Le Mans"?

The "Baby Le Mans" is the collector nickname for the 126519LN — a standard-catalog white gold Daytona with a black dial that resembles the Le Mans aesthetic at a fraction of the price, but without the exotic dial, red "100" bezel, or 24-hour counter.

Do your Le Mans Daytonas come with box and papers?

Each listing specifies exactly what's included. Full-set examples include the Rolex box, warranty card, and booklets. Every watch is authenticated by our in-house team regardless of accessories.
