How much does a Rolex Daytona cost?

The most expensive Daytona ever sold

The 1968 Paul Newman Daytona has become the most expensive Rolex ever. While this timepiece gained prestige for its nickname of the exotic dial, the world of vintage watch collecting once believed it to be lost forever. The watch was originally gifted by Newman's wife and subsequently handed down to his daughter along with it, to her boyfriend James Cox. For many years, the item seemed to have disappeared but out of nowhere it turned up on Cox's wrist. In the fall of 2017, he decided to auction it in New York, where bidding started at $1 million. The price quickly shot up when the first bidder doubled the stake. After twelve minutes of fierce competition, the watch sold for $17.8 million. Even without the use of rare materials or limited production, Newman's Daytona is highly valued due to its remarkable history. It is a rare story that has made it the most expensive but also one of the priciest watches in the world.

Why choose the pre-owned market?

The pre-owned watch market presents an incredible advantage to the watch enthusiast - the possibility of owning iconic timepieces like the Rolex Daytona for much less than the price of a new model. But besides this, one can also access watches with historical significance. The pre-owned market enables you to discover rare and vintage models that are no longer produced, such as the famed Paul Newman Daytona model, which has been an in-demand product because of its provenance. In addition, when purchasing pre-owned items, you might be taking a chance to own a watch that will become valuable in the future. This is because some models are limited editions or their backstories make them more unique and authentic if they are appreciated over time. Moreover, the pre-owned market usually has a wider range of styles that make it even easier to find the desired item according to your taste and financial capability.
