Rolex in popular culture:
Paul Newman wore a Rolex Cosmograph "Daytona" when his wife (Joanne Woodward) gave it to him with an inscription on the back: "Drive Slowly, Joanne". Certain "exot dial" models have become known as "Paul Newmans" and are quite collectible.

Ian Fleming's James Bond character wore a stainless steel luminous-dial Rolex Oyster Perpetual in the series of spy novels. That watch came to an unfortunate end in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service when he used it as an improvised knuckle-duster. In many of the early EON-produced Bond films, Bond wore a Rolex Submariner. 

Rolex models were used from the first Bond film Dr. No until 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun. Thereafter Seiko digital watches were worn by Bond until the Rolex Submariner reappeared in 1989's Licence to Kill. Since 1995's GoldenEye, Omega Seamaster watches have been product-placed in the Bond films.

CNN chief Jim Walton is known to compare CNN to a Rolex watch. In an interview to Broadcasting & Cable magazine he is quoted as saying: "Rolex means something to people; It's a quality product, it's expensive."

In the hit TV series 24 the character Jack Bauer wears a Rolex Submariner in the fourth season of the show when facing off with the 'terrorist' Habib Marwan. In reality, the actor Kiefer Sutherland wore a replica (fake) until it was destroyed when smashed against a pillar when fending off Marwan.
