Lot Essay

The Cosmograph Daytona, introduced in 1963, was initially engineered to meet the demand for reliability and precision of racing drivers. A special edition, nicknamed beach, was created in 2002 as an allusion to the legendary Daytona Beach speed races.

Made of turquoise, green chalcedony as well as yellow and pink mother-of-pearl, this edition demonstrated Rolex's ability to display signs of eccentricity, while staying true to its origins.

Established as a genuine icon in the watchmaking universe, this legendary chronograph remains a mirror of 20th century design through the simplicity and timelessness of its lines, while continuing to be an unparalleled source of fascination for connoisseurs of fine horology.
