Know What Letters Mean in Rolex Reference Numbers?
The letters are short for French words, and if you ever took basic French at school and remember how to say a handful of colors, you’re in luck.
Black = Noir
Blue = Bleu
Green = Vert
Red = Rouge
Chocolate (aka brown) = Chocolat
Here are some other handy vocab words:
Bezel = Lunette
Crystal = Glace
So, if you see the following letters in Rolex reference numbers, this is what it translates to:
Daytona 116500LN = Lunette Noir = Black Bezel

With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day and in every way
Now forever and ever after."
