The Story Behind Jay-Z’s New Holy Grail UK Best Online Replica Rolex Watches

Few watch models stir diehard collectors quite like the perfect Rolex Daytona replica watches with an exotic “Paul Newman” dial. The late actor made this variation of the watch so famous—with its Art Deco numerals and contrasting track around the edge of the dial—that his personal specimen sold for a then record-setting $17.8 million in 2017. Meanwhile, no design flourish gives a watch more prestige than a Tiffany stamp on the dial, which signifies that the piece was originally sold by the legendary New York-based jeweler. And for collectors who really don’t have to worry about the price tag, landing a watch from your birth year is an irresistible cherry on top. Jay-Z’s latest watch is Swiss movements fake Rolex Daytona 6263 watches that combines all these elements in an unparalleled holy grail.

Until this past weekend, when Jay-Z wore it to Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour stop at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, this top replica Rolex watches spent years hiding out in a safe. The dealer Adam Golden, founder of Menta Watches, has known about this exact piece for years. The Daytona came from a private collection that the collector has slowly been selling off. Golden sold the mythical “Lemon” Daytona 6265, an 18-carat yellow-gold version of the luxury UK Rolex copy watches with a citrus-yellow dial, from the same collector for $3.6 million.

“I’ve known about this watch for three or four years now and [was] always promised it [by the seller],” Golden explained via DM. “The time finally came. I was going to offer it to a good client and it randomly popped in my head to text Alex [Todd, Jay’s go-to jeweler], as Jay is a [Tiffany] ambassador.”

When a watch this special comes along, there is little time to hesitate—and Todd jumped at the opportunity. “When it comes to vintage Rolex I trust very few people honestly,” Todd told me. “Whenever somebody sends me vintage cheap Rolex replica watches, I send a picture to Adam for his advice. Recently, I sent him expensive China 1:1 Rolex Daytona fake watches to get his advice, so he might have had an idea that I had my eyes on one for an important client. He sent me this rare gem, and it being a ‘69 Tiffany Newman, it only made sense who it would end up going to.” Golden’s text bounced from Todd over to that “important client” of his: “Sent it over to Hov and that’s all she wrote.”

Within a few days of presenting the wholesale Rolex replica watches to Todd, Golden was on a red eye from San Diego to New York City to show Hov the watch in person. The best quality super clone Rolex watches had been sitting for so long that the mainspring—the piece that delivers power to the watch’s movement—was broken. Golden had to get it fixed the morning of his meeting, just a week and a half ago.

After patiently waiting years for the replica Rolex watches for sale, everything happened for Golden at rapid speed. The meeting with Jayt took mere minutes. “Meeting with Jay was cool but quick,” Golden said. “Really down-to-earth nice guy with no pretense. Explained a little about [the watch]. Sized it for him. The whole meeting was over in five minutes.”

When you have a bank account as big as Jay’s, this isn’t a watch that requires much deliberation—especially given that Golden describes it as being in “great condition” with all the original parts. It’s hard to put a market value on a watch that hardly ever comes to market. A similar Tiffany-stamped Paul Newman Rolex Daytona fake watches for men sold at Phillip’s for 874,000 Swiss Francs in 2016, which was long before the watch market went kaboom. When someone asked Todd about the price on Instagram, the jeweler responded, “As much as he wants. There is no others around…”

The Rolex replica watches site is the latest crown jewel in Jay-Z’s museum-worthy collection. He showed off an incredibly rare Audemars Piguet Royal Oak perpetual calendar with a mother of pearl dial just a couple of weeks ago. Almost immediately after wearing that watch, Todd promised me there were a “few more bangers coming soon.” He wasn’t lying.

Up Close And Personal With The 2023 Top AAA Rolex ‘Le Mans’ Daytona Ref. 126529LN Replica Watches UK

Just a few weeks ago, Rolex did something it almost never does – at least not until recently. It released an anniversary watch outside of the normal trade show structure. The brand went rogue, caught us all by surprise, and unveiled what is quite possibly the hottest Swiss made Rolex replica watches of the year.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Le Mans, Rolex announced a very special Daytona. Taking everything new that the brand announced at Watches & Wonders 2023 (new symmetrical case, metal-edged bezel, re-configured dial layout, and new movement), this latest iteration of the Daytona is just…extra in all the right ways.

And look, we’ve seen Rolex do the anniversary dance in the past. We’ve got our Kermit Submariners (with black dial and green bezel insert), and our platinum Daytonas. What makes those cheap 1:1 Rolex fake watches different from what we are seeing in the new “Le Mans” Daytona is that they were each new manifestations of a known design. And that’s because Rolex doesn’t do homage, or so we thought.

This new luxury UK replica Rolex Daytona watches is the Crown doing a throwback design in its own way. It’s not a re-edition or a 1:1 copy of a vintage model. It’s a new luxe Daytona that uniquely speaks to the past. So what is that past? Well, it’s a mixture of the Paul Newman styling and aesthetics of the very first Daytona model, which itself links back to Le Mans.

Origins Of The Daytona 24-Hour Races

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most storied and prestigious endurance race on the planet. The Rolex Daytona is the most famous mechanical chronograph on that same planet, so named for a different 24-hour endurance race (I’ll let you guess), who’s origins point back to the Le Mans.

And that’s because the original Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 was not actually called the Daytona at first. The marketing and advertising behind the model that first sprang up in 1963 did not refer to this high quality Rolex copy watches as “Daytona” because it wasn’t actually called that yet. Instead, the ads make reference to a chronograph called the “Le Mans.”

Yes, the Rolex Daytona, by all accounts, was originally going to be called the Rolex Le Mans. Daytona would eventually take the billing thanks to Rolex’s sponsorship of the 24 Hours of Daytona in the mid-1960s.

But it was Le Mans that set the table some 60 years ago. So while this new Daytona released in June celebrates 100 years of the Le Mans race, it also marks 60 years since the Rolex Cosmograph was on the cusp of going by the very same name.

Rolex’s Variation On Homage

To be clear, we are not going to call this an homage because, well, it isn’t. But there are enough Easter eggs hidden in the design of this new chrono that point to models of Rolex past: notably that first reverse panda (black dial with white registers) ref. 6239 Le Mans Daytona, as well as the Paul Newman Dial (a specifically funky dial iteration with red accents and unique typography made famous by the A-list actor) in both ref. 6239 and ref. 6263 format.

If you’re going to pay serious money for any Daytona, I tend to think it should be one of historical importance.

So what really separates a non-Newman black dial from a Newman black dial Daytona? A whole lot actually. A traditional non-Newman Daytona looks very similar to early Heuer Carreras in a lot of ways. You have the standard matte black dial with white hash marks, and high-contrast white sub-registers with standard numeral printing, including the flat-four in those sub-registers. And that’s sort of it.

The Newman dial on the other hand brings in a lot more visual intrigue and contrast to the dial. The outer hash marks on the dial are done in a vibrant red against a white outer backdrop. The inner dial is a flat black color. While it shares the white sub-registers with the non-Newman, it’s what’s on the inside that counts here, and nothing is standard. First are the inner-markers with squared ends, and the unique numerical style in an almost deco-format with sharp edges. These are known as exotic dials and looking at them, you can see why.

While these Newman dial Daytonas were not particularly popular in their day, the Newman has gone on to become the most recognizable manifestation of the Daytona, period. These best Rolex replica watches continue to fetch huge results at auction and have not lost any popularity in the modern era of collecting.

Paul Newman is about as significant a figure in watches as they come, and his posthumous impact on horology cannot be overstated. Whether it’s the 6239 Newman Daytona with pump pushers or the later ref. 6263 model with its screw-down pusher design, the man himself made an icon out of one of the worst-selling Rolex models of its day. That’s power.

This 2023 model takes a little bit from the Le Mans and the Newman to create this celebratory look. The first is the use of red accents, even if they are not in places you would normally find them (in this case, on the bezel). But you see things here like the use of a black ceramic bezel, which is a riff on the black acrylic bezels of the older models.

The standard black dial and white sub-register motif really feels like a direct call-out to the very first ref. 6239 Le Mans Daytona. The use of the simple typography in the sub-registers and overall pared-down design is about as close to that look as you can get in a modern Swiss movements Rolex Daytona fake watches package. It’s when you look inside those pushers that you see where the exotic impact comes into play. The markers inside have the same squared-off look that we see on the vintage Newman dials. And I’ll go so far as to say that bringing back this design cue is almost as unexpected as the emoji Day-Date.

Doing The Anniversary Thing The Right Way

Look, when Rolex does an anniversary – especially with the Daytona – it makes it extra special. And that usually means precious metal. In this case the choice was white gold, which was a great call here because it takes on the appearance of steel while secretly elevating the watch a touch.

I think it’s safe to say that when the platinum Rolex Daytona replica watches for sale was released in 2013, the general watch-loving public was left wanting a bit. Folks had that year marked on their calendars. They wanted a ceramic bezel in steel, and they wanted a panda dial. Instead, they got something very different and it took time for that watch to catch on.

This was a very different affair, mostly because of the surprise factor and lack of expectation. We thought we were done celebrating the Daytona way back in March. Rolex had done right by us – taking the Daytona to new heights by refining the Rolex super clone watches online in several ways. A new bezel construction, a more luxurious dial layout, and a new movement were all we really needed. And it took things up a notch with the exhibition caseback on the platinum model. An exhibition caseback on China replica Rolex watches?? Mind blown.

So when Le Mans happened – out of deep left field – we were not just surprised, but instantly delighted. This one has delivered from the jump. It has everything we didn’t even know we needed via the throwback design inspiration, plus the precious metal factor, making it a watch few will own, but the rest of us are perfectly okay admiring from afar without FOMO.

And this one maintains the exhibition caseback – but it doesn’t bother us because the dial is just so cool.

How To Get UK High Quality Replica Rolex Watches Grail To Drake

Good news: Drake, collector of all manner of timepieces, was recently spotted wearing a watch. Better news: the watch was a minty Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona, one of the most treasured and grailiest pieces in existence. But even for a mega-superstar like Drake, a Newman doesn’t just appear on demand. I decided to look into how Drake wound up with this specific watch—and learned that its journey to the rapper actually began decades ago. Here’s how you get luxury replica Rolex Daytona watches to Drake.

Toronto, Canada, ‘60s

The story begins, by cosmic coincidence, in Drake’s hometown of Toronto. A sweet old man, back when he was young and sprightly, purchased a new Cosmograph Daytona from Rolex—some time back in the ‘60s. He wore the piece for a long time. This wasn’t such a big deal because this version of the 1:1 UK Rolex Daytona fake watches, with an “exotic dial”—meaning one with minute track ring in a contrasting color and deliciously funky numerals—was too bold for many consumers at that time.

Munich, Germany, ‘90s

Paul Newman famously wore the cheap replica Rolex watches throughout the ‘70s, forever changing its trajectory and earning it the Paul Newman nickname. The watch’s star grew so dramatically that, on a trip to Munich in the ‘90s, a guy ran up to our Daytona owner and grabbed his wrist.

“Oh my God, how much do you want for that?” the man said, the owner eventually told Adam Golden of Menta Watches. “It’s amazing!” Suddenly, the owner realized that the watch on his wrist was awfully valuable—and, worse, drawing unwanted attention. He stashed it away in a safe, keeping it safe and in pristine condition…while unintentionally letting the value ferment dramatically.

Miami, Florida, 2022

Golden, who has sold every kind of vintage watch in Miami since 2014, heard from a jeweler friend based in Canada that a very good client of his was trying to unload Swiss movements copy Rolex Paul Newman Daytona watches. The owner was getting older and his kids weren’t interested in keeping it (imagine!!). They’d considered taking it to an auction house, but had missed the deadline to submit it. His jeweler wasn’t used to working with pieces like this very pricey one, so he called Golden.

“I almost didn’t take it seriously because the pictures were so crappy,” Golden says. “But the [Canadian jeweler’s] telling me, ‘Listen, he’s not gonna let me take better pictures or send it to you for inspection.” Finally, Golden was able to convince the jeweler to bring the man and his China Rolex replica watches to his Toronto shop, so that he could collect a few more pictures near a window letting in some light. The images were just convincing enough. “The crystal was scuffed to all hell,” Golden says. But, even without a buffed crystal, Golden could tell: “If this watch is what I think it is, it’s going to be an excellent example.”

So, Golden figured, Miami to Toronto isn’t such an awful flight, especially with a Newman waiting on the other end. He’d decided: “I was gonna buy the watch, regardless of, you know, the Drake of things.”

Staten Island, New York, 2022

Before Golden booked his tickets to Toronto, a team of people—whose identities have been fiercely protected!—came to Gerald Amerosi of Gerald Peters, an “official Rolex jeweler,” in the Crown’s preferred parlance, in Staten Island. They were looking for 2023 fake Rolex Paul Newman Daytona watches in unbelievable quality, the best quality possible, because they wanted to give it to Drake for his 36th birthday in October.

Amerosi needed someone who knew the pre-owned market, so he reached out to Joey Caleca, who goes by The Wrist Watcher. Together, they set out to source a piece worthy of a man who is famously stingy about friendship. They reached out to Marco Nicolini and Golden. “Both of them had some options,” Joey says. “The first option that Adam had that we were going to go with actually sold, and then Adam miraculously pulled this Canada one out and we needed it to be rushed, rushed, rushed.”

Toronto, Canada

Golden pushed his flight up to Toronto earlier so that Drake wouldn’t have an empty box to open on his birthday. He met with the owner of the top Rolex super clone watches and his wife. “He really was a sweet old man,” Golden says.

But more importantly: the watch. Birds sang, a harp was plucked, golden light filled the room. (Or at least that’s how it looks in my head.) “The watch turned out to be amazing,” Golden says. “It’s not every day an original-owner, mint Paul Newman comes up for sale where you get to go up and shake the original owner’s hand and talk to him about the watch.” To go with the AAA Rolex replica watches, Golden also got the owner to write a letter testifying to his ownership.

So, you have this wildly expensive—the market value is upwards of $200,000—and rare watch, how do you get it home with you? Hard-shell kevlar case? Verified mail? Nondescript luggage? “It goes on my wrist,” Golden says.

Because it’s the safest or the most fun?

“Both,” Golden says, laughing. “I just bought an original-owner Paul Newman!”

Miami, Florida to Staten Island, New York

Malca-Amit is a company that specializes in shipping luxury items. (Great, ‘90s-movie-grade website.) Golden and Caleca worked with Malca-Amit, which used a logistics company called FERRARI EXPRESS [caps mine], to get the 2023 Rolex fake watches from Miami to Staten Island. The Paul Newman had a cushy ride: it took a private plane up to New York then hopped into an armored car. “An armored truck showed up to my house,” says Caleca. “Guys dressed as a SWAT team to deliver the watch.”

In another part of Staten Island

The Rolex replica watches wholesale then changed hands again, going from Caleca to Amerosi. “I’ll be honest, I’ve never held a watch like that before,” Amerosi says. “The condition was impeccable. The dial was spotless. I was amazed that the dial wasn’t really faded. The original purchaser kept it in pristine condition.”

It would have taken about a full year, Amerosi says, to get the rubber stamp of authenticity from Rolex HQ in Geneva, so he did the next best thing. Together, Amerosi and Caleca whipped up a letter vouching for the watch’s authenticity.

Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Canada, 2023

Just a couple months after he received the watch, the birthday boy wore it out to a game between his Raptors and the Charlotte Hornets. Drake has a lot of Rolex fake watches shop, as I’ve thoroughly documented over the years, but he didn’t necessarily have a watch quite like this one. While his other standout pieces—a Patek Philippe Nautilus customized by Virgil Abloh, or the Richard Mille RM 69 that spits out Borat pick-up lines—spoke to the hype side, this Paul Newman speaks to the nerdier piece of watch collecting.

Golden nods to the idea that “you’re not a real connoisseur until you start buying stuff like this,” citing collectors like “the John Mayers and the Ellen DeGeneres is of the world.” At the same time, it’s still an evidently killer watch—of all the esoteric vintage Rolex replica watches for men in the world, this is the one most people will recognize. “It’s one of the most iconic watches in the world,” Golden says. You can’t find a better birthday gift than that.
