Important Notice regarding importation into the United States of Rolex watches
Sotheby's cannot arrange for the delivery of Rolex watches to the United States because U.S. laws restricts the import of Rolex watches. The buyer or a designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale."

The offered watch is a very desirable example of the celebrated Rolex Paul Newman Daytona. Beginning in the late 1960s, Rolex offered special dials, known as 'exotic' dials, on their Cosmograph Daytona models. Years later, watches with these dials became known as 'Paul Newman' models, as the actor is presumed to have worn one in the 1969 auto racing film 'Winning'. The 'Paul Newman' dial is characterized by square markers in the chronograph scale and subsidiary dials and the alternating patterning of the colouration.

Though widely available at the time, these dials were produced in smaller numbers and are rarer to find on watches today.

Preciously kept by the family of its original owner until today, this lot represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of this iconic reference.
