Description
The reference 6240 Oyster Cosmograph Daytona was the first Rolex chronograph to feature screw down chronograph pushers. The 6240 came with three series of pushers. Significantly, these are the first series pushers, also known as fat pushers, and most rare of all. As such, it is an important and highly collectable vintage Rolex. This watch is 100% authentic and original.
Original stainless steel case measures 38mm diameter by 14mm thick. Original bezel still features sharp factory edge. Original bezel insert features “Units per Hour” scale from ‘50’ to ‘200’. The screw down crown and screw down chronograph pushers all work perfectly, and the chronograph hands reset crisply to their zero positions. The lugs are symmetrical and uniform with sharp edges.
Serial number 1298XXX dates production to 1965.
Original silver dial features a subtle radial brush finish and applied hour markers. The sub dials provide 30 minute and 12 hour chronograph totalizers and constant seconds. The black sub dials are sunken and have concentric guilloche. The dial is 100% original, untouched and all of the hands are original and in mint+ condition. The dial is in mint+ condition.
Original movement is the manual winding Rolex Caliber 722 with 17 jewels. The Caliber 722 was the first Rolex chronograph movement to feature the Microstella regulation system. The movement features column wheel construction and is clean and in excellent working order.
Bracelet is the Rolex Oyster reference 78350 with 11 links.
Watch is in mint+ condition and is guaranteed 100% original.
