In the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Rolex Daytona, the famous international experts and the auctioneer Aurel Bacs introduced how this Daytona watch became amazing.
Aurel Bacs, international well-known horological experts, the auctioneer of Rolex Daytona, entering into the auction industry in 1995, 2003, and has been the international co-head of horological ministry in Christie's. Since 2010, Bacs solely was responsible for ministry of clocks and watches in Christie's. In November last year, he announced he will leave at Christie's. He is the only one that can use four languages in the world auction of clocks and watches, and was considered to be one of the best auctioneer in the industry of clocks and watches.
How do you think that why the Rolex 16520 become the myth of the watch industry?
In my opinion, there are two main rational factors and a "soft" factor. First from its simple design, its clear line will not be eliminated by history because the passage of time. Followed by its function, which means it is not just art for art's sake, not like some watches that almost they cannot be worn. I can't explain the third factor, the mysterious attraction of the rolex daytona replica is like a Hollywood star or a famous artist. You are a star or is not a star, but star status is not created, nor can the reasonably explained.
This ironic Daytona watch has been launched for 50 years, how do you imagine its development in the future?
I believe, rolex having such a fabulous wrist watch is not only the glory, but also a kind of burden. In fact, all companies that have legendary products have a responsibility to manage and maintain the product reputation and tradition. For example, the Porsche that has 911 and Hermes that possess Kelly bag must know what this feeling is.
