Before the Daytona there was the Rolex chronograph now known as the Pre Daytona. Produced in the years leading up to the 1963 release of the Cosmograph, these references laid the foundation for what would become one of Rolex’s most iconic watches. With clean dials, pump pushers, and understated styling, the Pre Daytona captures a moment in Rolex history when form and function were still evolving. Today it stands as a rare collector’s piece that connects the brand’s tool watch heritage to its modern legend.
