Since 2001, Rolex has been the Official Partner and Official Timepiece of the endurance-focused sports car race 24 Hours of Le Mans. Celebrating the event's centenary, Rolex will be rewarding the winners for this year's race with an Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona. Tom Kristensen, Rolex Testimonee since 2010 and the most decorated driver of the race with nine victories, is the ambassador for the centenary edition.
