The pre-owned Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is probably the most coveted watch on the second-hand market. Launched in 1963 for racing drivers, it takes its name from the Daytona Beach circuit and owes its legend to Paul Newman, whose "exotic" dials made auction history. With boutique waiting lists measured in years, pre-owned is the most direct road to the crowned chronograph.
At Francine Joaillerie, every Daytona is authenticated by our watchmakers, serviced where needed, tested and guaranteed: chronograph movement, tachymetric bezel, screw-down pushers and full consistency checks.
| Configuration | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Steel, black Cerachrom bezel | The most in-demand modern configuration, white "panda" or black dial | Those who want THE sports reference |
| Steel, engraved steel bezel | Previous generations, more vintage in spirit | Lovers of classics |
| Yellow, Everose or white gold | Lacquered, stone-set or mother-of-pearl dials depending on reference | Precious statement pieces |
| Gold on Oysterflex | Sporty, supple luxury on the wrist | Riviera spirit, from boat to dinner |
Every Daytona passes a full watchmaker inspection: movement, engravings, rehaut, pushers, bracelet and serial numbers. All our pieces leave with certificate and warranty.
The contemporary Daytona's Oyster case measures 40 mm, a format that suits the vast majority of wrists, men and women alike.
Also worth seeing: our Rolex Submariner, our GMT-Master II and all our pre-owned Rolex.
