Entrepreneur Corey Gamble spotted wearing a Rolex

Corey Gamble made a striking horological statement while attending an NBA game between the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena, wearing the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 'Le Mans' Ref. 126525LN in 18k pink gold. The appearance marks a high-profile sighting of Rolex's newest iteration in its endurance racing-inspired collection, which debuted with the white gold reference in 2023 and expanded through 2024 and 2025 with precious metal variants.

The Ref. 126525LN Daytona is powered by the modern calibre 4132 self-winding chronograph movement, a significant departure from the manual-winding cal. 4030 that powered earlier Daytona references. The 24-hour subdial positioned at 9 o'clock—replacing the traditional 12-hour counter—represents the most visible technical distinction of the 'Le Mans' series. The 40mm case in 18k pink gold measures 12.5mm thick and maintains Rolex's tool-watch proportions despite the precious metal construction. Water resistance stands at 100 metres, adequate for daily wear but conservative for a chronograph of this calibre. The black dial features contrasting white subdials, square-end hashmarks in the chronograph registers (a vintage racing detail), and the characteristic red '100' printed on the tachymeter bezel—a direct reference to the centennial celebration of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The 'Le Mans' Daytona variants represent Rolex's deliberate homage to the brand's deep motorsport heritage, particularly its association with endurance racing. The decision to equip all three gold iterations (white, yellow, and pink) with the 24-hour subdial creates a technical signature that distinguishes them from standard Daytona production. Among collectors, the pink gold reference holds particular appeal as the latest release, commanding premium prices on the secondary market due to limited availability and the prestige of Rolex's precious metal chronographs.

Gamble's choice reflects the watch's positioning as a statement piece within Rolex's sports collection. The Daytona remains one of the most sought-after modern watches, and the 'Le Mans' variants have become instant collectibles despite their precious metal positioning. Current grey-market pricing for the Ref. 126525LN in pink gold ranges between €65,000 and €75,000, substantially above the official retail price, reflecting demand that continues to outpace Rolex's annual production of precious metal Daytonas.
