Every Daytona on offer in the Geneva auctions
The fall 2019 auction season is here, with the Geneva auctions from the three major auction houses — Christie’s, Phillips, and Sotheby’s — scheduled for November 10-12. Much of the auction market is driven by interest in Rolex, and much of the interest in Rolex continues to be driven by the Daytona.
So, I have created a database of every vintage Daytona (Ref. 6239, 6241, 6262, 6263, 6264, 6265) up for auction this fall. I have also added some other vintage Rolex chronographs and “pre-Daytonas” on offer because they are just as cool, and perhaps the watch of the season is a Rolex Ref. 4113 split-seconds chronograph from the pre-Daytona era.
There are 30-plus Rolex vintage Rolex chronographs on offer in Geneva this season, from “reasonably” priced Reference 6234s to gold Paul Newman Daytonas and everything in between. Click through the list to find your favorite.
