Rolex watches once owned by Oscar-winner Paul Newman and tied to his passion for car racing sell for more than $1 million each.

The article focuses on the auction of two Rolex Daytonas that once belonged to actor Paul Newman, which sold for approximately $1.1 million each at Sotheby's in New York. The auction featured a total of 134 lots, with the highlighted watches being a Rolex "Zenith" Daytona and a white gold Daytona, both of which had significant personal and historical value tied to Newman’s racing career. The "Zenith" Daytona was awarded to Newman after his record-setting win at the 1995 24 Hours of Daytona Race, while the white gold Daytona was a gift from his wife, actress Joanne Woodward, and was worn by Newman during his final laps in 2008. The auction is part of a larger series titled "The World of Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman," which includes over 300 items related to the couple. [Extracted from the article]
