Pre-owned Rolex Daytona 116528 in excellent conditions, with card Rolex and box.

This 18k gold watch case with its "Paul Newman" dial is among one of the most fashionable Rolex ever.

The modern Rolex Daytona 116528 “Paul Newman” recalls the signature style of Newman’s personal Rolex Daytona 6239 but adds the size, substance, and style of the modern Cosmograph to the equation.
When the modern Rolex Daytona 116528 debuted with this tri-tone dial in the early 2000s, the Paul Newman references flew fast and furious on the internet fora.
Key to the link is the combination of three colors on a single Rolex Daytona dial in a fashion that many associated with the original 6239 worn by Newman himself.

Story:
While the Daytona is now widely loved and worn by everyone from the newbie collector to your boss’s boss, the Rolex Daytona is firstly a racing watch.
It was made for motorsport professionals and was named after the famous Daytona Beach in Florida, where numerous land speed records were broken.
Introduced in 1963, the reference 6239 Daytona was the first Rolex chronograph with a tachymeter bezel that allowed its wearer to measure the speed of an object. The watch gained traction in the racing world but did not gain widespread acceptance until later, thanks in part to a handsome actor/race car driver named Paul Newman.

Born in the late '80s, this reference became the first Cosmograph to offer a combination platter of metals.

Over the years, the model has seen various updates and has become one of the most desirable watch models in the world.
