While it took some time for the model to become a success, it is now one of the most popular watches in the Rolex catalog. Part of what launched the Daytona into infamy was its favorability with actor and racing enthusiast Paul Newman. He was known to wear his beloved Daytona gifted to him by his wife quite regularly, which ultimately sold at auction for a staggering $17.8 million.
