Before the Daytona was officially born, best online fake Rolex watches wanted in on the racing game, and started designing chronographs in the 1930s. It officially introduced the Cosmograph ref in 6329 back 1963, adding ‘Daytona’ to the name a year later in 1964, named after Daytona Beech’s racing legacy.
Back then, the watch wasn’t as popular as it is today because of its contrasting black and white dial (where the nickname ‘Panda’ came from). Since then, the high quality replica Rolex Daytona watches have ascended into god tier watch territory, thanks to one very famous wearer: Paul Newman. “Far and away the most famous wearer of a Rolex Daytona. Gifted his watch by Joanne Woodward and inscribed on the case back ‘drive carefully, me’, Newman wore the watch daily,” says David Silver, founder of The Vintage Watch Company. “The watch appeared in auction in 2017 at Philipps in New York and at that time became the worlds most expensive wristwatch to ever sell at auction fetching over $17m.”

This updated series of the iconic piece is accentuated with a steel rim encasing the bezel which harks back to its vintage heritage,” says Silver. “It is produced in small quantities each year and is desired the world over.” Given the hype, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that (nearly) everyone wants a piece of the action, which drives prices upwards of £25,000 on the grey market.
