Chronograph complication and Rolex's history have always been inextricably linked. Rolex's first foray into timekeeping began in the 1930s with the manufacturer's very first Oyster chronograph model. In 1963, Rolex launched the Cosmograph Daytona, a sports chronograph that has never stopped evolving in keeping with the spirit of the brand and has always sought to improve on existing technology by pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible.

It is a tribute to the glorious history of this watch, shaped by many people, but if we had to choose one person in particular, it would be Paul Newman.
