Renowned as one of Rolex’s iconic models, the Daytona has witnessed numerous iterations since its debut in the 1960s. Notably, it has been linked with the legendary actor and racecar driver, Paul Newman, celebrated for his roles in cinematic classics such as The Hustler, Hud, and The Sting. Newman’s association with the Daytona stems from his preference for the Rolex reference 6239, featuring an “exotic” panda dial—a white dial with three black subdials—a configuration now synonymous with the Rolex Daytona ref. 116528.
Drawing parallels with Newman’s personal watch, the fake Rolex Daytona ref. 116528 boasts a champagne dial with black sub-registers, echoing the signature style. Crafted with 18k yellow gold, the bezel harmonizes with the case, reminiscent of the steel bezel of the ref. 6239. Notably, the modern enhancements distinguish the present ref. 116528 “Paul Newman” from its vintage counterpart. Featuring a larger and sturdier 40mm case, equipped with screw-down pushers, the watch achieves a water resistance of 100m. Launched in the early 2000s, it is powered by Rolex’s inaugural in-house automatic chronograph movement, the Caliber 4130, offering an extended 72-hour power reserve.
The replica Rolex Daytona ref. 116528 emerges as a spiritual successor to Newman’s cherished watch, providing a glimpse into what watch he might have favored today while navigating the racetrack pits.
