Experience the excitement of Car Week through the eyes of Rolex. From the Pebble Beach Tour D'Elegance to the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, discover the incredible cars and events that make this week a car enthusiast's dream come true.

Car Week, an annual event held in August, brings together car enthusiasts from around the world in the Carmel-Monterey area. Rolex, a long-time supporter of the event, showcased their partnership through a series of shows and unveilings throughout the week. From vintage racing at Laguna Seca to the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Car Week offers a variety of events for car lovers of all kinds.

The Pebble Beach Tour D'Elegance

The week kicked off with the Pebble Beach Tour D'Elegance, a public event that allows attendees to get up close and personal with over 150 cars that will be featured at the Concours d'Elegance. This free tour takes participants on a 70-mile route along Highway 1, showcasing the beauty of the area and the incredible cars along the way. Rolex has been the main partner for this tour since 2007.

The Quail

The Quail, often referred to as the "Catalina Wine Mixer of Car Week," is a combination of a garden party and a car show. Attendees can enjoy food, drink, and brand-driven product unveilings while admiring a collection of cars that range from classic models to modern hypercars. Rolex has been involved with this event since 2005 and this year's programming included special guest Hurley Haywood, a legendary racer.

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion brings together a variety of race cars and drivers at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. On Saturday, the main day of the event, attendees can walk through the pits, watch the cars race, and even climb the iconic "Corkscrew" turn. Jenson Button, a Rolex testimonee and Formula 1 Champion, competed in a stunning 1952 Jaguar C-Type.

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

The week culminated in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a prestigious judged competition that has been partnered with Rolex since 1997. Over 200 cars from around the world competed for various awards, including the coveted "Best of Show" title. This year, the winner received a special version of the Rolex Perpetual 1908 watch as their prize.

Car Week is a truly special experience for any car enthusiast, offering a glimpse into the world of classic cars and the passion that surrounds them. With Rolex's partnership and support, the events of Car Week are elevated to new heights, providing attendees with unforgettable moments and memories.
