Catalogue Note

Represented by several different reference numbers, the Rolex 'Daytona' has become one of the most iconic sporting wristwatches of all time. Paul Newman's patronage of an exotic dialled Daytona has not only lent such dials his name, but has itself become the most coveted of all the 'Daytona' styles.
