圖錄文章
The present watch is an attractive example and features the “Paul Newman” three-colour dial. The exotic dial created by Rolex was initially not generally accepted, however, over time became one of the most iconic models to own. Named by Italian collectors after the famed American actor, the dials were offered in three colour combinations, white background with black subsidiary dials, the opposite, or three colour combination with black, white and red.

Purchased in 1969, the history of this example fully embodies the core values that made the Daytona the icon it is today. The present lot is further accompanied by the original guarantee booklet, service invoices dating in 1972 and another in 2008 and box which is a rare feat to have. This model is one of the most iconic Daytonas ever produced, a trophy watch worthy.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
