Description
By far the rarest reference of all Daytonas, the 6240 is a transitional model that introduced the screw down chronograph pushers case. While the later screw down pusher references 6263 and 6265 abound, the 6240 is a very rare watch. This watch ups the ante with its original two color “Panda” Paul Newman dial. Further still, this is the rare Mark 1 dial and the case has its original fat pushers.
Original case is stainless steel with dimensions of 37.5mm diameter by 12.5mm thick. Acrylic crystal. First series oversized original screw down chronograph pushers. Original winding crown. Original bezel has “Units per Hour” scale from ‘50’ to ‘200’. Inside caseback is stamped ‘6240’.
Serial number 1439XXX dates production to 1965.
Original untouched two color Paul Newman “Panda” dial is white with contrasting black subdials. Original dial and hands are in perfect condition.
Original movement is the manual winding Rolex Caliber 722 with 17 jewels. This caliber features column wheel construction – by far the superior chronograph caliber construction ever made. Movement is in great condition and is running strong.
Bracelet is Rolex Oyster 78350 with 12 links.
This is an all original and rare first series vintage Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 6240 with original Mark I two color Paul Newman dial. Watch is in mint+ condition and guaranteed original.
