Rolex Daytona History

The Rolex Daytona history is being discussed by Vincent Daveau, journalist and watch writer, in a 7 part article on Watchonista. Also, it contains interviews with Christie’s International Head of Watches, Aurel Bacs, publisher of vintage watch books and apps John Goldberger and TimeZone’s Managing Director and watch lover William Rohr are being published.

Fratellowatches also has its own spot at this superb collection of Daytona related articles and posts, as we did some write-ups on this watch in the recent past.  Remember our Daytona overview in the ‘end-of’-year’ special we did here? More recent, we discussed the newly introduced platinum Rolex Daytona that was introduced during the 2013 Baselworld exhibition. Rolex did what nobody expected, they did not release a 50th anniversary Rolex Daytona like many expected, but came up with a platinum version instead, which is part of the normal collection. You can read more about the platinum Rolex Daytona with reference 116506 here.
