The Ultra-Rare Rolex 'Paul Newman' Daytona is on Sale for £1 million
Rolex Daytona 18K Gold on XupesWith only a few in circulation, the Yellow Gold Daytona's were made in short supply in comparison to the more common steel models. Even more so, the lemon dial face can't be commonly bought or found despite searches. If you like a bit of history behind the Daytona's, then you'll know that they weren't very popular at all. Exceeded by the popularity of Submariners and Datejusts. It took the famous actor Paul Newman to bring the demand. “Nicknamed by Rolex collectors after the legendary actor and motorsports enthusiast, the Paul Newman Daytona is one of the most illustrious and sought-after vintage watches of all time. The lemon dial colour and pump pusher combination is what makes this version so special. It is only the fifth known example of its kind to come to market.” - Xupes

Both with the lemon dial and a leather strap for $734,000 at Sotheby's this April and for $871,500 at Christie's last year. These however haven't included the ultra-rare solid gold bracelets.
