  • 12650x: the Cosmograph Daytona generation this reference belongs to.
  • Last digit 6: 950 platinum.

What to check on a 126506 before you buy

  • The reference 126506 engraved between the lugs at 12 o'clock matches the warranty card exactly.
  • The case measures 40 mm and the metal is 950 platinum — weight and colour should match.
  • The bezel is: Chestnut-brown Cerachrom tachymeter.
  • If the case is opened by a watchmaker, the movement is calibre 4131.
  • The serial is eight random characters (watches made from about 2010), engraved on the rehaut at 6 o'clock.
  • This reference has no date window — a 126506 with a date or cyclops lens is not genuine.
