Quant à la "Paul Newman" voici des infos pour ceux qui ont des doutes:
In the wonderful publication, "The Best of Time - Rolex Wristwatches" by James Dowling & Jeffrey Hess, it is suggested how a particular model of the Rolex Daytona was nicknamed the "Paul Newman". It went onto say that Paul Newman appeared in a film titled "Winning" in which he wears the aforementioned watch. The 1969 film "Winning" is a car racing movie in which Paul Newman plays a racing car driver. I have seen this movie and I'm unable to see the Daytona on
Mr. Newman's wrist but I may be mistaken.Eugenio Zigliotto's article in International Wristwatch No.23 states, "in a film involving the Carrera Panamericana the famous actor wore one of these chronographs". Osvaldo Patrizzi in his book "Rolex Wristwatches" mentions the movie set in the Carrera Mexicana, the race setting in "Winning" is the Indianapolis 500. The suggestion by Zigliotto and Patrizzi that Newman wore the watch in the Carrera Panamericana, in my opinion is wrong. The Carrera Panamericana took place from 1950 to 1954. Dowling's and Hess other explanation on how the watch was named seems more credible. They write that Paul Newman was on the cover of Italy's most popular magazine wearing the famous Rolex.
