Rolex Daytona
There is no doubt that Rolex is the most popular luxury watch in the world and of the Rolex models the Daytona would have to be one of the most popular. The Rolex Daytona is one of the most sought after watches in the world. It was originally created for the famous 24 at Daytona race.
This luxury watch was originally introduced in the 1960s, but only small numbers were made for the race. The models coming from this period are extremely rare and the most sought after. They are identified by the fact that they have four digit model numbers. The most valuable of these early Rolex Daytona watches are the watches with the so-called “Paul Newman” dial. Paul Newman was given a Daytona by his wife in 1972 when he starts racing automobiles as a hobby. Supposedly he wore this watch until his death in 2008 and these hard to distinguish watches are extremely hard to find and expensive to purchase.
If you don’t have thousands of dollars to purchase a watch, don’t fret, another version of the majestic Rolex Daytona was produced by popular demand. These watches carry six digit model numbers instead of the original four and are much more common around the world and cheaper to purchase. Although they are similar in aesthetic appearance to the earlier models these versions are cheaper simply because there are more of them and there is not mystique behind them, yet.
The world renowned 24 hours at Daytona race has been known as the Rolex 24 at Daytona since 1991 and Rolex has been affiliated with the race since its beginning in 1962. The race is a 24 hour marathon sports car endurance race held annually. Winners of this race in every division receive a Daytona steel watch from Rolex watches.
