Rolex An iconic, rare and highly attractive stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with “Paul Newman” dial, presentation box, original guarantee and invoices
37 mm diameter
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.
