Rolex

The story of tracking down and transporting—in an armored car!—the rapper's new watch.

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 a Paul Newman Daytona. He stashed it away in a safe, keeping it safe and in pristine condition…while unintentionally letting the value ferment dramatically. 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. Better news: [the watch was a minty Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona](https://www.gq.com/story/watches-of-the-week-1-21-23), one of the most treasured and grailiest pieces in existence. [Drake](https://www.gq.com/story/drake-new-album-honestly-nevermind-first-impressions), collector of all manner of timepieces, was recently spotted wearing a watch. He wore the piece for a long time.
