From its original owner, one of less than 300 ever made, and one of even fewer made in 14K gold, the Rolex Daytona Ref. 6241 'John Player Special' is an icon among icons. This incredibly rare and significant timepiece will be offered as a part of the Important Watches auction on 9 June as a part of Luxury Week here at Sotheby's New York.
