The Cosmograph Daytona is still leading the pack after six decades
With its heady mix of mythology, technical skill and rarity, Rolex’s Cosmograph Daytona is armed with the attributes likely to excite both seasoned collectors and those new to the field. “It’s a cult icon that never seems to lose its status,” says Andrew Shear, a New York-based specialist in vintage Rolexes. Launched in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona was created for racing drivers and remains inextricably linked to the Florida racetrack. Back then, you could pick one up for around £170.
The Cosmograph Daytona can be divided into three generations. The first, produced between 1963 and 1988, has a smaller case and manual-winding movements. The second, produced from 1988, has an automatic movement made in collaboration with Zenith. In 2000, Rolex launched its third generation with its own movement, which was updated in 2016. There are also “off-catalogue” models that appear periodically, such as the Insta-friendly gem-set Leopard and Rainbow.
