Description

Our opinion: Le modèle de Rolex Cosmograph Daytona est un chronographe de sport lancé en 1963 par la société Rolex SA. Le Cosmograph Daytona fait partie de la catégorie de montres professionnelles au sein de la gamme Rolex. Il a été conçu à l’origine pour les pilotes de course. Quatre générations de Daytona ont vu le jour respectivement en 1963, 1988, 2000 et 2016. La première était dotée d’un mouvement à remontage manuel, la deuxième d’un mouvement à remontage automatique et la troisième et quatrième d’un mouvement manufacture Rolex. Le record du monde en vente aux enchères est une Rolex Daytona ayant appartenu à Paul Newman et vendue chez Philips a NYC pour 17,75 millions de dollars en 2017. L’original est donc la version à 4 chiffres dont fait partie celle-ci et en plus en Paul Newman le graal de tout collectionneur. La daytona Paul Newman ref 6241 est une des plus belles daytona vintage car cette référence est très rare et surrout en cadran non Paul newman et marqué « daytona » en gros en haut, bracelet acier riveté, poussoirs lisses, lunette bakélite MK1 et mouvement valjoux 722-1. Belle boite peu polie! Une référence de daytona qui n’existe presque que en configuration newman donc peu de montres sont sorties de chez Rolex. Une pièce majeure dans une collection Rolex!

Brand

Rolex

Rolex is one of the world's most renowned watch brands, famous for its prestige, quality and innovation.

The beginnings (1905-1920)

Rolex was founded in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis. The company was initially called Wilsdorf & Davis, and it imported Swiss watch movements which it then had assembled and sold in London. In 1908, Hans Wilsdorf registered the trademark "Rolex", a name he found easy to pronounce and remember in different languages.

Innovation and success (1920-1940)

Rolex quickly established its reputation through its innovations, including the development of the first waterproof wristwatch, the "Oyster", in 1926. This watch was touted as a revolutionary product and received significant media attention, notably when the Swimmer Mercedes Gleitze wore an Oyster during her English Channel crossing.

In the 1930s, Rolex continued to innovate with iconic models, such as the Rolex Prince, which introduced rectangular dials, and the Datejust in 1945, which is considered the first automatic watch to display the date.

The era of divers and explorers (1950-1980)

In the 1950s, Rolex benefited from its association with exploration and adventure. Models like the Submariner, launched in 1953, and the GMT-Master, created in collaboration with Pan Am for pilots, became symbols of this era. These watches were not only stylish, but also designed to withstand extreme environments, cementing Rolex's reputation as a manufacturer of rugged and precise watches.

The rise to luxury (1980–present)

Over the decades, Rolex has become synonymous with luxury and social status. Rolex watches are often worn by famous people and are considered one of the best investments in watches. The brand has focused on artisanal quality, with rigorous control of each piece produced.

Rolex has also been at the forefront of the watch industry by introducing high-precision automatic movements and developing innovative materials such as Everose gold and cerachrom for bezels.

Philanthropic commitment

In addition to its watchmaking heritage, Rolex is engaged in various philanthropic initiatives, notably through the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, which supports innovative projects in different fields, such as science, environment and culture.

Conclusion

Today, Rolex is more than just a watch brand; it embodies a symbol of success and accomplishment. With over a century of innovation and a commitment to excellence, Rolex continues to fascinate watch enthusiasts around the world.
