The present timepiece represents a remarkable and historically significant example of the celebrated Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Paul Newman”, distinguished by its exquisite champagne dial and the presence of all original tritium lume plots, perfectly intact, along with its matching tritium-filled luminescent hands. The watch is preserved in an exceptionally rare configuration of solid 14K yellow gold, complemented by its original 14K yellow gold bracelet, a combination seldom encountered and highly prized among connoisseurs.

Long regarded as one of the most charismatic and sought-after variations of the iconic Daytona, the so-called “Paul Newman” dial remains an emblem of mid-20th-century sporting refinement and enduring horological distinction.

Enhancing its significance even further is its provenance within the official Rolex Certified Pre-Owned program, a rigorously curated platform through which only timepieces meeting Rolex’s most demanding criteria are released. To the best of our knowledge, this example represents the very first gold Paul Newman Daytona, complete with 14K bracelet, full tritium plots, and original luminescent hands, ever offered by an authorized Rolex retailer under the Certified Pre-Owned scheme, also it is the most expensive Rolex sold by the CPO marking a landmark moment in Rolex’s modern stewardship of its historical legacy. And the very first Paul Newman from the CPO offered in auction.

Of exceptional rarity, impeccable originality, and distinguished provenance, the present watch stands as a trophy-grade Daytona and a milestone appearance in the evolving scholarship of collectible Rolex chronographs. Accompanied with the Rolex atelier service box and guarantee from Hausmann & Co with all the documentations.
