Rolex Daytona

Rolex Daytona dates back to 1961, when Rolex started manufacturing the Rolex Cosmograph. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a self-winding chronometer wristwatch with chronograph functions. It is also one of the most expensive watches from Rolex. The Daytona comes in several models and can be identified by the colour of the watch face, type of metal used, type of strap (white gold strap with white face, stainless steel strap with black face).

The Cosmograph, Cosmograph Daytona and Oyster Cosmograph Daytona were introduced in 1961 using chronograph movement. Later they were replaced by a bigger Daytona with self-winding movements. These new models were named - Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph. Later, Rolex made several changes in Daytona line including features like - Zenith movement, Rolex 4130 caliber etc. The most popular model of Roles Daytona is the stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. This is because of its limited production.



Rolex Watch: How is it made

Daytona Paul Newman

Rolex Daytona with "Paul Newman" dial is rarest of all. This dial was optional and was available in limited numbers. The Paul Newman dial is distinct from a normal Daytona dial. If you are one of those proud owners of Daytona Paul Newman, you are lucky.

Initially when Rolex started manufacturing Daytona watches, they were not as popular and successful as they are now. Since demand was less, the price was less. But with passage of time, these models became more and more popular and demand increased. Today it is one of the most successful and most expensive watches from Rolex.
