As the first Cosmograph Daytona to feature the engraved metal tachymeter bezel, it established the design language that would come to define the model for generations. Fitted with the charismatic “Paul Newman” dial—distinguished by its contrasting subsidiary registers, Art Deco-style numerals and vivid outer track—the reference has become one of the most recognizable and sought-after vintage wristwatches in existence.

While provenance ultimately belongs to the individual watch, collectors have long appreciated examples produced within close proximity to historically important pieces, offering a tangible connection to one of the most iconic chapters in Rolex collecting. Paul Newman’s own reference 6239, sold by Phillips in New York in 2017, remains one of the most significant wristwatches ever to appear at auction.
