Defining Features:


The Rolex Paul Newman Daytona is one of the most recognisable and desired Rolex watches in the world. These watches are defined by their exotic dials that feature Art-Deco details. As always, the watch includes the standard chronograph and tachymeter bezel that Daytonas are known for.
But again, the dial is the star of the show on these watches. The most well-known models will have a black or white dial with sub-dials in the opposite colour of the main dial. The Panda dials are white with black sub-dials and the reverse Panda dials are black with white sub-dials. The Paul Newman also has a square at the end of each index and the 9 o’clock sub-dial has additional numerals.

About the Paul Newman Rolex

The Rolex Paul Newman Daytona, as one might expect, derives its nickname from the famous actor, director, and racecar driver Paul Newman. He is known for his roles in films such as The Hustler, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, The Sting, Cool Hand Luke, and many more. The actor loved the Rolex Daytona and would often wear various versions of the timepiece.

Paul Newman donned a 6239 Daytona while filming Winning. This watch would break records when it sold for 17.75 million USD at auction. As you can see, this watch has more than earned its reputation as one of the world’s most coveted Rolexes.
