Mark Wahlberg wears one of the most beautiful Rolex watches of 2023, a rare model that honors France

Mark Wahlberg is a very happy man right now. Despite the strike of screenwriters and actors/actresses in Hollywood which does not seem likely to end soon, the 52-year-old actor has a lot of things to do with all his companies.

Not content with enjoying great success in the cinema, Mark Wahlberg is a successful entrepreneur with various companies such as Flecha Azul tequila, the Performance Inspired nutrition brand, Aquahydrate water, F45 gyms, the Mark Wahlberg car dealership Auto Group, film production companies, a chain of burger restaurants Wahlburgers and the clothing brand Municipal. It was precisely while promoting his latest Municipal sneaker model on Instagram that Mark Wahlberg unveiled one of the many watches in his collection.

Like Tom Holland or Tom Cruise, Mark Wahlberg really likes watchmaking. During his Instagram video, it is easy to see that he is wearing a Rolex, which we can identify as the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona. A legendary model from the Swiss brand launched in 1963. In 2023, Rolex presented new versions, including a superb one in platinum, and Mark Wahlberg himself will specify that the one he wears on his wrist is a very rare new product. “When it rains, it pours… and no, I’m not talking about Le Mans,” he said, looking at his watch. He therefore owns the special model released on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans last June. A watch at 50,900 euros that is not easy to obtain because collectors have rushed for it.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Le Mans, a rare watch

This unique model is equipped with a caliber 4132, entirely developed by Rolex, an automatic mechanical movement which offers high performance in terms of precision and autonomy. It also allows the hours of the chronograph function to be counted over 24 hours instead of the 12 usually on the Daytona. The power reserve is approximately 72 hours.
The high price of this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona is explained by the presence of a 40 mm case in 18-carat white gold. The Cerachrom bezel is made of black ceramic and bordered by a small border also in white gold. The graduations and numbers of the tachymeter scale are hollow-molded. It is also on this tachymeter scale that the famous number 100 appears, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is filled with red ceramic.

By purchasing this rare Rolex which pays homage to France and one of the most legendary automobile races in the world, Mark Wahlberg demonstrates that he truly has judicious taste in watchmaking.
