At Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Tom Brady was bestowed with a heartfelt tribute by the New England Patriots, the team he faithfully served for an impressive two-decade career.

Joining hands with the Patriots’ longtime owner, Robert Kraft, Brady stood at the podium for an emotional halftime ceremony. In front of 65,000 roaring Patriots fans, he expressed his gratitude, saying, “another day in this stadium that I will never forget.” He even performed his signature sideline sprint, all the while donning the distinguished Rolex Daytona on his wrist.

The Rolex in question, a ref. 6241, is no ordinary timepiece. It boasts a distinctive dial affectionately referred to as the “John Player Special” dial, an homage to the iconic livery of the Lotus Formula One team. This racing team was sponsored by British tobacco and cigarette manufacturer John Player & Sons during the 1970s.

The watch’s dial mirrors the striking black and gold hues that adorned the race cars, with three chronograph subdials adorned with square lollipop hash marks. Brady’s Rolex is elegantly paired with a matching gold jubilee bracelet, completing a timepiece that mirrors his legacy of excellence.

The “John Player Special” Rolex Daytona is a timepiece truly worthy of a seven-time Super Bowl champion. It is exceedingly rare and commands substantial value on the secondary market. Notably, in 2020, a similar model set a record by selling for a staggering $1.5 million at a Sotheby’s auction.

Sam Hines, worldwide head of watches for Sotheby’s, expressed the rarity and allure of the watch, stating, “An 18-karat yellow-gold 6264 is the rarest gold configuration of the legendary Paul Newman. Only a handful are known to exist, so it is difficult to overstate the fascination it arouses among vintage watch collectors”.
