Rolex Ref 6239 First Series Cosmograph Daytona, Silver Dial, All Original, Warranty Papers and Box, 1964

This 1964 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6239 is a complete and well-preserved example of one of the very first series of the Rolex Daytona. The package is complete with its original box and warranty papers. The Cosmograph Daytona line was launched in 1963, and this watch was made before Rolex co-branded the model “Daytona” on the dial after the famous 24hr race. One of the distinguishing features of ref 6239, and later ref 6241, was that the dial featured many changes and variations with respect to the placement and color of the Daytona name. This experimentation gave each watch within the 6239 range individuality. The most famous version of the 6239 is the Paul Newman model with the exotic Singer dial. The case measures 37 mm and shows no signs of polish. Only superficial signs of wear are present consistent with age. To be sure, the crisp and symmetrical lugs exhibit gentle signs of use; but there are no deep scratches or dings to mention. The original black factory enamel of the ear
