The manual Rolex Daytona reference 6239 revolutionized the famous Rolex chronograph forever. Rolex moved the tachymeter scale, originally printed on the dial, to the bezel giving the dial itself much more space and easier readability. The present watch, from the mid 1960s, features the sought after large 'Daytona' signature, known as the Jumbo logo and in addition to this, the registers are a very subtle tropical brown. Fresh to the market, this Daytona has remarkable character throughout.
