Paul Newman Daytona Vs Daytona

• 

  Rolex Ref. 6264 “Lemon Dial” Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona, A Very Fine and Extremely Rare Yellow Gold Chronograph Wristwatch with Registers and Tropical Minute Track. Estimate HK$3,200,000-6,000,000 (US$409,000-770,000).

  Nicknamed “Lemon dial” by the Rolex community. The “Lemon dial” is uncommon because the dial colour should be more of a cream colour for reference 6264, but the “Lemon dial” features a more attractive citric tone with an intense black subsidiary dials and white graphics instead of gilt subsidiary-markers. “Lemon dials” occur only in the reference 6264 which were produced at the tail end of the pump-pusher exotic dial gold Daytona’s production in the late 60s (1969 / 1970). What further distinguishes the present example is the outer minute track which has turned to a very warm “tropical” brown.

Like this present lot, those fitted with a white dial or black subsidiary registers are given the name "Panda", due to its colour scheme.
