Rare Paul Newman Rolex Daytona could fetch £120,000 at upcoming Fellows auction
A rare Paul Newman Rolex Daytona will be featured in the upcoming Fellows auction on February 26, 2026, with an estimated value between $109,000 and $164,000. This specific model, known as Lot 50, is part of a series that originated in 1963 when Rolex first introduced the Cosmograph, later renamed Daytona. The design became iconic due to its association with Paul Newman, who frequently wore the watch in the 1970s, leading it to become one of the most recognizable chronographs. Notably, Newman’s own Daytona fetched an astounding $17.8 million at auction in 2017. The auction will also showcase other vintage watches, such as the Rolex GMT-Master 'Pepsi', a 1929 Rolex Prince with Art Deco styling, and a Heuer Monaco with original paperwork. The diverse selection reflects a sustained interest among collectors for historically significant vintage timepieces that possess strong provenance and originality. Further information about the auction can be accessed on the Fellows website.
