Launched in 2014, the Nautilus reference 5990 represents the first instance of this iconic line combining&nbsp;a dual time zone display alongside that of a chronograph. Incorporating the two functions together means&nbsp;a movement had to be&nbsp;redeveloped with&nbsp;a slightly enlarged the case, but thanks to the octagonal shape of the Nautilus, the chronograph buttons&nbsp;can be&nbsp;seamlessly and subtly positioned on the right side of the case, while the dual time pushers reside on the left. With a grey ribbed dial and a well-balanced layout, the reference 5990 marks another elegant addition to this sporty collection, paving a new era for the history of Nautilus.

Rolex jointly introduced the references 6263 and 6265 in the early 1970s and stopped their production in 1988.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date is commonly referred to as the President’s watch by collectors for&nbsp;frequently being&nbsp;publicized on the wrist of many Heads of State and “illustrious people'' from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Reference 6238, also known as the "Pre-Daytona", is the immediate predecessor of&nbsp;the first Cosmograph Daytona - reference 6239. Interestingly, they were made concurrently for a handful of years, with Ref 6238 serial numbers running as late as 1968, (circa 1.69m serial numbers), and Ref 6239 examples displaying serial numbers as early as 922k from 1963.&nbsp;This Rolex chronograph bears an early 964 serial dating back to 1963, featuring a silvered sunburst dial and stainless-steel&nbsp;Oyster&nbsp;bracelet.&nbsp;

The Rolex Daytona stands as the absolute chronograph benchmark since its first release in 1963. Despite its utilitarian vocation, the legendary sports chronograph was progressively released in yellow, white and pink gold, followed by platinum in 2013. The original versions of the Daytona relied on Valjoux-based manual winding movements before Rolex made the switch to an automatic solution in 1988, using a heavily-modified Zenith El Primero. In 1999, the LVMH group acquired Zenith, forcing Rolex to manufacture their own Daytona caliber, which was released in 2000 under the name cal. 4130.The present Daytona example was crafted in white gold and bears the exceptionally rare meteorite dial. While production quantities for these special watches are ignored, one can assume that these dials were scarcely manufactured due to the difficulty to work with meteorite and the rarity of the material. In the current market, watch brands cannot acquire more meteorite samples and are constrained to use their existing stock to supply their production lines with, until its complete exhaustion. Meteorite dials have typically been paired with white gold Rolex watches, and guarantees that no two dials look alike, making each of these rare watches unique in essence.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus was introduced in 1976 and has been proved resilient during the quartz crisis and remains highly sought after today.
