The elegance created by the baptism of time is exactly the charm of old pieces and old cars that people never tire of. The “Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion” sponsored by the watch brand ROLEX will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024. Countless famous cars and famous athletes will compete in the event from August 14 (Wednesday) to 17 (Saturday). Over four days, we will witness this legendary moment through a variety of activities.
The event was originally called the Monterey Historic Automobile Races. It was founded in 1974 and is famous for its tricky track design. Tom Kristensen, the legendary driver who dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans nine times, analyzed, “Laguna Seca is a wonderful track, located in the scenery behind Monterey. Between the beautiful hills, this track is undulating, with a counter-clockwise layout and famous spiral busy corners, which is quite interesting and requires precise driving skills.”
At the same time, Tom Kristensen also pointed out: Because Monterey Car Week includes a series of activities that bring together racing, classic cars, innovation, fashion and long tradition, “These activities are closely linked by the firm commitment of car owners, who hope to restore or maintain The good condition of a car shows its quality, beauty and dignity.”

Gathering), and the “Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®” (Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®), will be held from August 15 to August 18; at the same time, Tom Kristensen, F1 world champion driver Mark Webber, who once drove for the Red Bull Racing Team, and the British Racing star Jenson Button and legendary veteran Sir Jackie Stewart will all appear in the series of events and activities.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to being Rolex spokespersons, these legendary drivers also wear an extra Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watch in public. The watch is named after the racing track, showing precise, complex and stable kinetic energy output. Rolex has launched Daytona watches in countless precious metals, meteorite dials, and color combinations in the past, and celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Daytona watch last year. The latest model in 2024 brings a white gold and diamond model with a jump-colored mother-of-pearl dial. , and powered by the 4131 perpetual motion movement, it is shining and powerful.

Perhaps this is why people talk about it and keep it for a long time. The charm of being as green as ever
