{"title":"Rolex Daytona Panda Watches","description":"\u003cp\u003eRolex Daytona panda watches carry a white dial with black contrasting sub-dials. The contrast is what makes the chronograph registers easy to pick out at a glance. The nickname comes out of the exotic Daytona dials of the 1960s and 1970s, and it stuck. The steel panda Daytona is the reference the nickname points to: the current 126500LN with its black Cerachrom bezel, and the 116500LN that came before it. This page carries the reverse panda versions of the same two references as well: black dial, contrasting light registers, same watch otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteel panda and reverse panda Daytonas generally trade from the high-$20,000s into the low-$40,000s depending on reference, dial, condition, and box and papers. This page is hand-curated, so what shows up here shifts as pieces move. Panda Daytonas are available to see in person at our Fifth Avenue location in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReady to see one in the metal? \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/book-appointment?source=Collection_Page\"\u003eSet up a time to visit →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is a panda dial Daytona?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA panda dial Daytona has a white or light silver dial with three black chronograph sub-dials. The contrast is the whole point: black registers on a white field are easy to read at a glance while you are timing something.

The nickname goes back to the exotic dials Rolex fitted to Daytonas in the 1960s and 1970s, and it has been in use ever since. It is collector and dealer shorthand that Rolex itself does not print in its catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow much is a panda dial Daytona?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSteel panda Daytonas broadly trade from the high-$20,000s into the low-$40,000s. Market pricing moves with the reference, production year, dial, condition, and whether it still has its box and papers.
