Rolex Daytona


The Rolex Daytona is surely one of the most coveted Rolex models on the market with waiting lists of up to 10 years for the steel model.
This makes the watch almost unattainable, supporting the desirability factor, on the free market prices reach well beyond their catalog price.The Daytona was first issued as a hand powered watch, worn by film stars, such as Paul Newman, and in certain circles a version of Daytona with a special dial, is even referred to as the "Paul Newman Daytona". The hand-powered watch was not particularly loved and often lay unsold in shops. This quickly changed with the conversion to an automatic mechanism. Later with the introduction of a chronographic mechanism the watch became the legend it is today.
