ROLEX VINTAGE DAYTONA COSMOGRAPH “PAUL NEWMAN” – Ref. 6239 – 18k Yellow Gold – Original Box – 1969 – Exceptionally Rare

We are proud to present you this very good ROLEX DAYTONA COSMOGRAPH Ref 6239 in 18k yellow gold with 18k yellow Gold Oyster bracelet.

This is one of the most iconic and collectible vintage chronographs of all time - The Paul Newman in 18k gold. This reference represents the genesis of the Daytona drivers chrono legend and is considered a grail piece in the world of vintage Rolex collecting.

The Ref. 6239/41 was the first Daytona to bear the now-famous name on the dial, and the “Paul Newman” variant — characterized by its exotic Tritium dial — has become one of the most sought-after watches in existence. Solid gold examples are exceedingly rare, and those preserved in this condition, with accompanying box, are rarer still.

Key Features:

- 18k yellow gold case, 37mm, with pump pushers and engraved tachymeter bezel

- Exotic 'Paul Newman' dial with contrasting subdials, Art Deco numerals, and square markers

- Manual-winding Valjoux 72 chronograph movement, Rolex Cal. 722

- Original gold crown and pushers, correct for the period

- Original Rolex green US box included

- Production year: 1969 (serial confirms)

The warmth of the yellow gold case paired with the graphic richness of the Paul Newman dial creates a visually arresting and historically significant piece. This example remains in excellent vintage condition, with sharp lugs, strong case proportions, and an honest, untouched dial that retains deep collector integrity.

“An icon among icons — the Paul Newman Daytona in yellow gold is not just a watch; it’s a cornerstone of vintage horology and one of the most revered references ever produced by Rolex.”

"This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most important vintage Rolex references!"
