For four days, participants were treated to a series of events, shows, and unveilings, leading up to the highly anticipated Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on Sunday. Rolex, a long-time supporter of the event, was there to capture all the action.

The Tour D'Elegance: A Closer Look at the Cars

The Pebble Beach Tour D'Elegance, a public event that precedes the main Concours, allowed attendees to get up close and personal with over 150 spectacular cars. From vintage classics to modern supercars, the tour showcased the diverse range of automotive excellence. Rolex, the main partner of the tour, ensured that this was a memorable experience for all.

One particularly impressive car was the 1940 Derrin-bodied Packard, the first of its kind. Participants had the opportunity to ride along in this exquisite vehicle and enjoy the stunning scenery along the 70-mile route. From Highway 1 to Big Sur and back to Pebble Beach, the tour provided a unique perspective on these magnificent automobiles.

The Quail: A Garden Party and Car Show

Next on the agenda was The Quail, often referred to as the "Catalina Wine Mixer" of Car Week. This upscale event combined a car show with a garden party, offering guests a delightful experience. With a wide array of cars on display, including classics, hypercars, and restomods, enthusiasts were in for a treat. Rolex was there to capture all the action.

Racing at Laguna Seca: A Thrilling Experience

Saturday's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca was a highlight of Car Week. Race cars from various eras took to the track, providing a thrilling spectacle for spectators. Rolex, the title sponsor of the event, ensured that the day was full of excitement. Notably, Jenson Button, Formula 1 Champion, competed in his 1952 Jaguar C-Type, adding to the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere.

The Grand Finale: Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

The grand finale of Car Week was the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a prestigious judged competition that has been running since 1950. Over 200 cars from around the world competed for various awards, including the coveted "Best of Show" title. Rolex, a partner of the event since 1997, presented a special version of their Perpetual 1908 watch to the winner, along with the honor and recognition that comes with such a prestigious accolade.

As the sun rose on the final day, attendees had the opportunity to witness the cars being driven onto the lawn at Pebble Beach. Among the highlights was the stunning and unrestored 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports, which took home the esteemed "Best of Show" award. It was a fitting end to an unforgettable week filled with luxury, cars, and the timeless elegance of Rolex timepieces.
