Brand: Rolex Model: Daytona Reference: 6239 Year: 1969 Material: Steel Dial Color: White Paul Newman Dial Dimensions: 37 mm Watch Movement: Manual-Wind Bracelet/Strap: Steel Box/Paper: Watch Only Condition: Excellent Condition with Very Minor Wear SKU: 215983 Introduced in 1963, the reference 6239 was the first Rolex chronograph to bear the Cosmograph name and marked the beginning of the Daytona lineage. Among its most celebrated configurations is the three-color Paul Newman dial, distinguished by its contrasting registers, Art Deco-style numerals and distinctive outer minute track. The present example with a 1.99m serial, dating to circa 1969, features a remarkably clean white dial with black subsidiary registers and red accents along the outer track and Daytona signature. The combination of these three colors gives the watch its distinctive character, while the stainless steel case, engraved tachymeter bezel and pump pushers retain the understated proportions of the early Daytona. Preserved in wonderful condition, this example displays a well-defined case with attractive brushed and polished surfaces. The excellent state of preservation of its Paul Newman dial is particularly noteworthy, with crisp printing and a clean white surface. A beautifully preserved example of the reference 6239, combining one of Rolexs most recognizable dial configurations with the proportions and details that define the earliest generation of the Cosmograph Daytona.
