Paul Newman and his Rolex Daytona, circa 1978 - Lot 33
Paul Newman and his Rolex Daytona, circa 1978
Digital color print
30.3 x 20.2 cm
Note: Iconic portrait of Paul Newman in the late 1970s, when the actor was already a legend of American cinema and a well-known figure in motor sports. The tight framing highlights his clear eyes and natural elegance, while the watch visible on his wrist - a Rolex Daytona - refers directly to one of the most sought-after myths on the contemporary watch market.
The association between Newman and the Daytona has had a profound effect on the history of the watch collection: the "Paul Newman" reference is now one of the most emblematic and highly-rated in the Rolex catalog. This photograph illustrates the convergence of cinema, motor racing and luxury culture.
