Rolex Rolex Daytona 6241

The first model of this historical reference dates back to 1963.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 Vintage 6241 shares many features with the 6240. This reference has a 37 mm case and a Caliber 722 which later changed to 722-1 for the last models produced. The Daytona 6241 has many different dials. The most famous is the " Paul Newman " dial.
