The Monaco Grand Prix is widely considered as the world’s most iconic driving circuit that celebrated its 90th anniversary the last weekend. While keeping the spirit of commemorating motorsport icons, let’s turn our attention to another icon in the world of automobile racing – the Rolex Daytona.

Launched in 1963, Rolex Daytona is indeed one of the most popular driving timepieces ever made in the luxury watch industry. While the watch gained a significant amount of attention from collectors, the value increased exponentially within the past several years. Thus, if you are looking to sell your Rolex Daytona watch or to pawn your Rolex watch and raise instant cash, you are likely to obtain the best possible price from any trustworthy Rolex watch buyers or pawnbrokers in Hatton Garden.

The Monaco Grand Prix

One of the most significant and iconic automobile racing events in the world is the Monaco Grand Prix. Monaco celebrated its legendary F1 race’s 90th-anniversary last weekend. Since 1929, the race is held on a narrow course outlaid through the streets of Monaco. However, the race includes many tight corners, elevation changes and also, a tunnel. Consequently, it is considered as one of the most demanding and dangerous tracks in Formula One race.

While the Monaco circuit carries such a precarious nature, Grand Prix does not cohere to the mandatory minimum 190miles (305 km) race distance of FIA’s F1 races. Moreover, the Monaco Grand Prix devises the Triple Crown of Motorsport with the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500.

The Motorsports Icon - Rolex Daytona

The motorsports icon, the Rolex Daytona made its debut in 1963 and today is recognised as one of the finest racing watches in the world. However, the iconic watch was named after the American race that the brand sponsors. While the Daytona was launched just before the ‘Quartz Crisis’, the timepiece was not an immediate success. But Rolex Daytona gained considerable attention later from the collectors and it forced the brand actually to limit its production, making the model more coveted.

The value heightened exponentially within the past many years, and it is indeed good news for those who are looking to sell a Rolex Daytona to trusted Hatton Garden pawnbrokers or any potential watch buyers in London. Although the watch once loitered on dealer’s shelves, Rolex Daytona is today the most desirable collectables.

Moreover, it was the wrist of the Hollywood actor Paul Newman that gave the timepiece the much-required boost. Newman’s wife Joanne Woodward gifted the Rolex Daytona Ref. 6239 with the note ‘Drive Carefully Me’ carved on the case back. The Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona sold for a skyrocketing final price of £14.05 million, making it the most expensive watch ever sold till date.
