Description
Our opinion: The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a sports chronograph launched in 1963 by Rolex SA. The Cosmograph Daytona belongs to the category of professional watches within the Rolex range. It was originally designed for racing drivers. Four generations of Daytona were launched in 1963, 1988, 2000 and 2016 respectively. The first was equipped with a manual winding movement, the second with an automatic winding movement, and the third and fourth with a Rolex Manufacture movement. The world auction record is a Rolex Daytona that belonged to Paul Newman and sold at Philips in NYC for $17.75 million in 2017. The original is the 4-digit version, of which this is one. Ours is in a perfect state of preservation, with a dial where the counters are still quite white because they are often blackened by time, and the tritium dots have a superb patina.
