Watchonista could have never done it without the support of friends, leading Auction Houses, collectors and Daytona specialists!

Aurel Bacs, an internationally renowned specialist and auctioneer, joined Christie's in 2003 as international co-head of the watch department, having been in the auction industry as a watch specialist since 1995.

Episode 7 - This year, all watch enthusiasts were waiting for the presentation of a commemorative timepiece. For nearly half a century, the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona has continued to evolve to today become a reference in specialist timekeepers used for sports.

Episode 6 - In the year 2000, the Daytona chronograph entered a new millennium having undergone a major modification. From that year forth, the chronograph featured a new-generation automatic chronograph movement, entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex: calibre 4130. 

Episode 5 - In 1988, production ceased for the Rolex Oyster Daytona Cosmograph with manual winding. This did not mean that a legend was about to disappear after 25 splendid years of exciting history. 

With a view to perpetuating its future and anchoring its success, the owners of the EPHJ-EPMT-SMT Trade Fair today announced the establishment of a new pool of shareholders. Among these is Palexpo SA, which will be entrusted with organizing the next editions in collaboration with André Colard and Olivier Saenger, the two cofounders of the Trade Fair.

Episode 4 - Rolex also kitted out certain Rolex Daytona chronographs with different dials from the ones that came series-built. These unique, exotic references (from 1963 to 1978) gave rise to many design excesses, in particular the dial embellishment on watches now referred to by everyone as the ‘Paul Newman’.

Episode 3 - The legendary chronograph, about which much has been written, available early on in steel then very soon afterwards in solid gold (and for the first time in platinum for its 50th anniversary this year), now has a definite chronology established by the brand that brought it into being.
