Rolex Daytona

A steel Rolex Daytona with a black dial

Steel, gold or Everose, Zenith-era or in-house: tell us about your Cosmograph Daytona and we’ll email and text you a price.

The Cosmograph Daytona is widely considered one of the world’s most desired watches. It was launched in 1963, inspired by motor racing and named after the Daytona Speedway in the USA, where Rolex still sponsors the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

More Daytona references we buy

The Rolex Daytona

Vintage Daytonas are increasingly scarce and can be very collectable, and modern references remain in high demand.

What we look at

  • Movement era

    Zenith-based references (the 165xx family, calibre 4030) from about 1988 to 2000, then Rolex’s own calibre 4130 and, from 2023, the 4131.

  • Metal and bezel

    Steel with a steel or ceramic bezel, Rolesor, yellow, white or Everose gold. The reference tells us which.

  • Dial

    Black, white and the many gold-model dials affect the price. A clear photo of the dial helps most.

  • Box, papers and extras

    The warranty card, box, spare links and service papers all add to the price.

    Which Daytona references do you buy?

    All of them, from Zenith-era references such as the 16520 and 16523 to the 116520, the gold 116505, 116509 and 116519, and the ceramic 116500LN and 126500LN.

    Is a Zenith Daytona worth more?

    It depends on the reference, the dial and the condition. Tell us what you have and add photos, and we’ll value it on its own merits.

    Where is the reference number on my Daytona?

    Engraved between the lugs at 12 o’clock (you’ll need the bracelet or strap off to see it), and printed on the warranty card or papers.
