Rolex Rolex Daytona 6239

The first model of this historical reference dates back to 1963. This model is associated with the world of motor racing and was designed to meet the chronometric needs of professional drivers. The model had, and still has, three counters and a tachymeter scale that allows drivers to precisely measure their time. Despite being Rolex's most famous model, it wasn't an immediate success. The most iconic model is the Paul Newman made of steel with an Exotic dial. It was worn in 1969 by Paul Newman on the set of "Virages", a film directed by James Goldstone. The model owned by Paul Newman was sold in 2017 by Philips in New York for $17.8 million. The Rolex Daytona Cosmograph celebrated its 54th anniversary in 2016. During this time, the model has been updated over and over to provide the highest precision and functionality with the most modern watchmaking systems. This model reminds us of the historical 1963 reference, with more modernity and elegance. It features a 40 mm stainless steel case and is water resistant up to 100 meters. The model is available with a white (Panda Dial) or black dial. The "LN" in reference 116500LN stands for "Lunette Noire".
