Rolex actually came out with a “co-branded” Daytona? In June 2023, to mark the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex unveiled a special Daytona Chronograph as the official timekeeper. The 18-carat white gold case, transparent sapphire crystal case back, black ceramic bezel, and the scale 100 on the speedometer are highlighted in red, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Le Mans.

The dial features an anti-panda face: 3 white subdials on the black main dial, and the subdials maintain the retro “Paul Newman face” – a Daytona dial design from the 1960s to 1970s, known in the watch collecting world for being worn by the famous Hollywood actor and racing driver Paul Newman.

Although Paul Newman himself did not officially represent Rolex, he did wear the special disc Daytona with a noticeable leather strap and appeared on the cover of a magazine, which drew a lot of attention. This special design is also known as “Paul Newman noodles”. The “Paul Newman” Daytona is highly recognizable and easy to trade, becoming a favorite in auctions and among brokers, and has been well-known in the collecting market for the past two or three decades.
