Description
Vintage Rolex collectors know that the reference 6241 Daytona is a rare watch. In fact, Rolex only made approximately 3,000 model 6241s. The 6241 is one millimeter wider than the model 6239, the much more common model with the steel bezel. The Paul Newman dial on this specific watch is perfectly aged, original and beautiful. To find a 6241 Paul Newman with original box and papers is a very rare and fortunate occurrence.
Original case is stainless steel with dimensions of 38mm diameter by 13.6mm thick. Crystal is plastic. Pump style chronograph pushers and screw down crown are all original and working perfectly. Original bezel with sharp edges and original black insert with ‘50’ to ‘200’ Units per Hour scale.
Original untouched white three-color Paul Newman dial with crisp step and sing-a-song ‘T-SWISS-T’. Singer made these specific dials by painting the seconds and fifths of a second hash marks and the T-SWISS-T in white and then repainted them in red. Now the red paint has mellowed to exquisite effect. Hands are also mint and original to this watch.
Original movement is the manual winding Rolex Caliber 722-1 with seventeen jewels and adjusted to three positions. Movement features column wheel construction and is clean and running.
Bracelet is a riveted Rolex Oyster in mint condition.
Watch is in mint condition and accompanied by original Rolex box and papers.
