Description
This is an automatically translated text.
The Cosmograph "Daytona", which can be said to be an icon of sports Rolex, first appeared in 1963 as the first Daytona with reference 6239. Ref.6241 is said to have appeared a little later, about two years later, around 1965, and was the first Daytona to use a Bakelite bezel. Around 1969, the model changed to the next generation model, Ref. 6264, and its production period was only about 3 to 4 years, making it known as a very short-lived model. Currently, most of the Ref.6241s you see on the market are distributed with Paul Newman dials, and it is extremely rare to find a regular dial like this one. Since it is a model from the early days of Daytona, there are a wide variety of dial variations of the regular model, and there are many variations. This example has the so-called "Jumbo Daytona" notation, with the "DAYTONA" notation in the bottom row at the 12 o'clock position, and the Jumbo Daytona notation on the black dial is extremely rare for Ref. 6241, and the serial number of this individual is 17XXXXX (1968 (circa 2000) is a number that would look natural even if a Paul Newman dial was set, so that part alone can be said to be extremely valuable. The back case is engraved 6239, the bezel is equipped with an MK1 bezel in good condition, and the caliber is Cal.722-1, which is said to have been used since around 1967. The chronological consistency is consistent.
The condition of the case is good considering its age. Regarding the condition of the dial, there is no fading of the tritium luminous dots, but there is discoloration at 2, 3, and 4 o'clock. The silver part of the subdial is in very good condition. The bracelet is equipped with a USA MADE rivet bracelet.
Speaking of hand-wound Daytonas, the Oysterlock models 6262 and 6265 are popular, but the case size of early hand-wound Daytonas is said to be small, and the case size is small, with equipment such as a 6mm crown and short pushers, and the crown surroundings are also small. It's refreshing, so I think you'll appreciate its charm once again.
Please take this opportunity to acquire a very rare early plastic bezel Daytona.
