What your Daytona is really worth

The ceramic 126500LN and its predecessor 116500LN trade at a premium to retail, often selling the day they’re listed. Yellow-gold, Everose, and platinum Daytonas — plus rare dials — push offers toward and beyond six figures. Even pre-ceramic 116520 “panda” and “reverse panda” dials remain in heavy demand.

Quick answer

A Rolex Daytona is typically worth between $19,000 and $95,000 CAD on the Canadian secondary market, depending on the reference, condition, and whether you have box and papers. References like 126500LN, 116500LN, 116508 and 116515LN sit at the higher end. Submit your details for a free, specific valuation.
