We are all aware that the Rolex Daytona is one of the main attractions in auctions

Recently, we showed you a very nice and rare example of a Daytona Paul Newman transitional 6264, that will be auctioned soon in replica Rolex DateJust. This one was already a rare bird, complete with papers and boxes, and a reference number rare enough to set the estimation at € 150. 000 Euro – an ‘impressive’ estimate for a ‘Dayto PN’. However tonight, 22 July 2014, there is another Paul Newman Daytona that might get collectors even more exited. It will be auctioned by Artcurial in Monte-Carlo, and this one could break the ceiling, with an estimate of € 200. 000 – € 400. 000 Euro: a Rolex Daytona 6263 Paul Newman with a tropical ‘Coffee’ dial and a unique pedigree. Big question: insane or justified?

If you look at the catalog of this Artcurial auction, you might find some very nice Pateks, some rare Submariners or, well, everything from the Rolex catalogues, new or vintage. And amidst of these watches http://www.nkwatches.com/replica-bell-ross.html, one is creating (once again) a real buzz in the watch world: lot 313: a ‘unique and ultimate’ Rolex Daytona 6263 Paul Newman with an estimate of € 200. 000 – € 400. 00 Euro. You might find it weird because these 6263 PN are not the rarest and are usually sold for approximately € 100. 000 – € 120. 000 Euro, even with a good pedigree and all the required papers / authenticity proofs.
