About the Cosmograph Daytona 126518LN
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 126518LN is a reference in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection. Rolex has made it since 2023. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 18k yellow gold; bezel: Black Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel with tachymeter scale; movement: Rolex calibre 4131 (automatic chronograph). The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.
What the sales say
Between November 2023 and October 2026 we recorded the sales listed on this page, and 33 of them count toward today's range: 28 eBay sales and 5 auction results. No month was busier than June 2026, when 7 changed hands. The auction side of the record is Grailzee and Phillips. It carries a moderate-confidence label: the range is a sound guide, but a single sale can still land outside it. The newest sale is under two weeks old. Too few sales landed in the past 90 days to rate how much prices swing. A fair price for the 126518LN can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. It trades at a regular pace, and a sale's weight halves every 180 days.
On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 9.2%, comparing 21 recent sales with 12 earlier ones. Its first recorded sale dates from November 2023, so a decade-scale view will have to wait. Saleroom and marketplace disagree by about 20%: eBay sits below the auction median, based on 17 eBay sales against 4 auction results.
Without box and papers, the same 126518LN is worth about 14% less on the ratio we measured for its collection (from 5 watch-only sales). Of the 61 sales listed, 23 came as a full set, 0 as the watch alone and 0 with part of the set; 11 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. At the bottom of the list is a sale from November 25, 2025, on eBay, full set, about 31% below the worth-about figure; at the top, June 14, 2026, at Phillips, set not stated, about 110% above the worth-about figure.
