Accompanied by a Rolex green suede pouch.

The reference 6239 was the first Cosmograph Daytona introduced by Rolex. It was replaced in the late 1960s by the reference 6262, but continues to remain highly desirable among collectors.

Similar examples of the reference 6239 are illustrated in Vintage Rolex Sports Models by Martin Skeet & Nick Urul, pp. 112-115.
