拍品資料及來源

The Rolex Daytona is synonymous with sports, from the name on the dial to the chronograph complication. The present ref. 6241 cased in 14k yellow gold is the rare example of the combination of precious materials with casual chronograph. Made for the American market, the 14k gold version of the watch with the iconic Paul Newman dial could be considered one of the rarest editions of vintage Daytonas made, likely only produced in several hundred examples from 1966-1969. The present lot is offered in very crisp condition with minor wear to the lugs and light patina to the case band surrounding the crown and pushers. The dial, original and untouched, features the hallmarks of the ‘exotic’ dial with all the luminescent dots remaining and with their color matching the luminescence to the gold hands. Overall, this example could be considered one of the finest to be offered in recent memory, and would be an highlight of any collection.
