A complete guide to the Rolex Daytona.
Even though a completely different world, there has always been a strong connection between sportscars and motorsports and watches. From the time people started driving cars with the goal to be the fastest, there has been need to measure that time. Not only the crew members in the pits, but the drivers themselves wanted to know their average speed. And that’s how watches and motorsports got their connection.
Together with some of the early Heuer chronographs, The Rolex Daytona is one of he watches that speaks most to the imagination of racers. And you can’t come close to a race track without noticing some folks wearing a Rolex Daytona. And there is a strong connection with Porsche too. All the winners of the Rolex 24H of Daytona receive a Rolex Daytona as a gift. In 2018 it was exactly 50 years ago that Porsche won the Daytona 24H for the first time in a Porsche 907 LH.

In attachment to the book comes a separate booklet with current estimated values of all the published watches.
