Signed Rolex, Cosmograph, Daytona, Paul Newman Model, Ref. 6239, Case No. 1'958'323, Circa 1968

Immediately recognizable through its dial and aesthetics, the present chronograph is part of the reference 6239, launched in the early 1960s and the first Rolex chronograph reference with an engraved tachymeter scale on its bezel. Manufactured with pump chronograph pushers and an attractive stainless steel case, later followed by gold versions, part of the most coveted examples of the reference feature exotic “Paul Newman” dials.

The case back is correctly stamped 6239. The stamp CRS stands for the case maker Charles-René Spielmann.
