Juan Pablo Montoya Roldán (born September 20, 1975) is a Colombian racing driver who competed in Formula One from 2001 to 2006. Already contracted as a test driver with Williams at the time, he was signed in mid-2000 to replace British driver Jenson Button for the following year. Montoya rewarded the team by winning the 2001 Italian Grand Prix in his debut season along with three additional second place finishes. He remained with Williams until the end of 2004 before signing with McLaren for 2005 and 2006 as Kimi Räikkönen‘s teammate. 2005 saw the Colombian stand on the top step of the podium no less than three times. However, Montoya was involved in an eight-car accident on the opening lap of the 2006 United States Grand Prix and opted to leave Formula One immediately after the race.
Audemars Piguet
During Montoya’s time with Williams, Audemars Piguet released the Royal Oak Offshore Juan Pablo Montoya limited edition. The timepiece came in rose gold (ref. 26030RO.OO.D001IN.01) and titanium (ref. 26030IO.OO.D001IN.01) versions, with the latter featuring subdial hands in the colors of the Colombian flag. A platinum version was also produced with a blue dial (ref. 26030PO.OO.D021IN.01).
TAG Heuer
Montoya was a TAG Heuer ambassador during his stint with McLaren. He has featured in ads for the Carrera, Aquaracer, and his own limited edition Formula 1 (ref. CAC1113.BA V11478).
Rolex and Artisans de Genève
It may also be worth noting that in 2018, a custom skeletonized Rolex Daytona was released by watchmaking workshop Artisans de Genève called the La Montoya. With the collaboration occuring prior to the lawsuit between Rolex and Artisans de Genève, the La Montoya was also available for sale as a limited edition of 50.
