Synopsis:
- In 2023 The Daytona celebrates its 60th anniversary
- The Daytona is the most popular Rolex model
- Paul Newman's Rolex sold at auction for $17.8 million
- Foreword by Aurel Bacs (Phillips Fine Watches)
Cosmograph Daytona… a legendary name among the watch aficionados, one that conjures up montages of speed, engines and sound, but also synonym of prestige and admiration. The origin of the myth is linked to a city in Florida, named Daytona Beach, famous for its motorcycle and automobile races on the beach. In 1959, the Daytona 500 race was born and three year later, Rolex became the official timekeeper of the Daytona International Speedway – hence, the start of the story of the legendary “Cosmograph Daytona”.
The chronograph complication and the history of Rolex have always been inextricably linked. Rolex’s first foray into measuring time began already in the 1930s with the manufacture’s very first Oyster chronograph model. In 1963, Rolex launched the Cosmograph Daytona, a sports chronograph that has never stopped to evolve, respecting the spirit of the brand, which has always strived to improve existing technology, always pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible.
The history and diversity of this chronograph is such that two (independent) volumes have been devoted to it. This first volume is dedicated to hand-wound Daytonas, manufactured between 1963 and 1988, and is a celebration to its illustrious history, forged by many people, but if we had to keep just one it would definitely be Paul Newman.
About the Author:
Anthony Marquié and Grégoire Rossier are the authors of the “ONLY” and “STORY” collections of reference books about the most iconic watches. Both have scientific backgrounds: Anthony is an aeronautical engineer – although he soon turned to an international career in finance – and Grégoire has a PhD in biology with a specialization in bioinformatics. Passionate about watches and collectors’ watches, they have dedicated a significant part of their activities to this sector for many years, until they created the consulting company WATCHFID (www.watchfid.com) in 2020, whose services are entirely dedicated to collectors of vintage and prestige watches.
Tiffany To is currently a Senior International Specialist, auctioneer and Head of Sale at Phillips Fine Watches, having started in the auction industry over 8 years ago. Vintage watches, particularly vintage Rolex, are a lifelong passion of hers. The scholarship, history and discovery of the unknown makes every day in this horological world an interesting and fascinating One.
