Rolex Daytona Paul Nemwan 6264.
One old picture I took when taking delivery for a friend of mine.
Obviously a nice example of a legend.
I could also play with it for some hours, and felt its cool appeal on the wrist.
Best,
Nicolas
If I’m not a Rolex fan, I’m however impatient to see what will be the auction result of the Paul Newman’s Paul Newman Daytona in NY on the 26th of October
Probably a new record for a wristwatch. The icon of the icon.

An icon certainly. But at the point to reach this kind of price, that's the major issue I have with this Dayto. [nt]

We’ll quickly know the answer but I’m quite sure the price will be incredible. You have four PP 1518 in steel. This Daytona is unique. Maybe the ultimate grail for many Rolex collectors

Certainly A Beautiful...
... Example. One thing is for sure, I will never be able to wrap my head around spending over a hundred grand from one of these.

Yes, Is a very comfortable watch to wear even with your bracelet. when I wear my Dayto 6239 silver.. sometimes I forget I have it.

This is what got me hooked on the Daytona, saw a friends Paul Newman Daytona after Omega didn't fufil a promised order and then went for the Daytona at my local AD (new of course lol)
It is a stunning piece and truly a beauty.
Truth to be told, my favorite Daytona is the 16520, the Dayto Zenith, which has a kind of vintage charm and modernity. A lot of quality feeling. [nt]

With all due respect...
What a hideous fetish. I am clearly exaggerating but amongst many other chronographs from that era, it would be for me one with quite a low appeal esthetically speaking. But then I also think that pill cabinets are ridiculous.
That's very subjective. Personally, I find the PN has a lot of charm. But I would be able to build a whole collection of nice vintage Chronos, for the budget of a PN. [nt]

The interesting thing.....
.....is that watch collecting seems to differentiate along a number of lines. But there is one differentiator that is very overt......those that understand that trains do leave the station, and those that continually fight that fact. Markets go up. Markets go down. Best just to observe it without trying to justify it.....
No question.....the Daytona PN has a lot of charm....it is a joy to wear. Is it "worth" the money? Who knows. Is a Jackson Pollock worth over $200m? Who knows. Best just to recognise that the train has left the station rather than describe it as a hideous fetish.....albeit exaggeratedly. Aesthetically....i like it.

Yes, Joe. Well put. The train really left the station and quite fast! [nt]

Agree - purely subjective, a chrono that doesn't speak to me personally. The fact that a knowledgeable collector finds it charming I can understand; unfortunately there are plenty of others that admire it because the market said so... [nt]

like i said.....that is best left to them to rationalise....
......and for sure, plenty of other watches to consider at less-than-stratospheric prices.
Real Icon piece and legend !
Nico, thanks for sharing highly sought action piece. I came across not same but similar feeling on wrist and so I let it be on my wrist for one week before handing to my friend. love to share the same.
Cheers ! Gautam
