Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 6239 – Tropical Dial – Circa 1967
Exceptional vintage Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 6239, dating from circa 1967, with serial number 1.59x.xxx.
This highly attractive collector’s example features a silver dial with three contrasting subsidiary registers that have naturally developed beautiful tropical brown tones over the course of almost sixty years.
The natural ageing and colour evolution of the subdials give this watch a distinctive and individual character. Their warm brown patina creates a striking contrast against the silver background, resulting in a particularly appealing vintage appearance.
Reference 6239 holds an important place in the history of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Introduced in the 1960s, it belongs to the earliest generation of the model and is distinguished by its external steel tachymeter bezel and pump chronograph pushers.
The watch is accompanied by an important and desirable set of original accessories and documentation:
• Original Rolex box
• Original Rolex guarantee
• Independent expertise dated 2021
• Additional certificate of authenticity
The watch is fitted with a Rolex Oyster bracelet and shows natural signs of age and wear consistent with a vintage timepiece of this period. Please refer carefully to the photographs for a detailed assessment of its condition.
The combination of the tropical dial, original Rolex guarantee, original box and accompanying documentation makes this Ref. 6239 a particularly interesting example for collectors of important vintage Rolex chronographs.
