What makes it stand out
The first Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona --- a wristwatch in a steel case with a manual-wind chronograph movement, named after the famous racetrack --- was released in 1963 and has been produced in various versions ever since, forever linked to the high-performance world of motorsport. More than 50 years after its creation, the Daytona maintains its status as one of the most coveted timepieces in the world, even as it evolves in technology (with Rolex in-house movements) and modern materials (like Rolex's proprietary Cerachrom for the tachymeter bezels).
