Not only incredibly good looking and superbly preserved in exceptional condition, the present timepiece is offered with the original Guarantee and presentation box.
Only a tiny number, thought to be around 300 pieces - a fraction of the approximately 14,000 watches made during reference 6239s production run - were cased in gold. The aesthetic of this late 1960s watch is simply beautiful, exuding luxury, the gold case with polished tachymeter bezel harmonizes with the black of the dial, the raised gold indexes sparkling as they catch the light. The overall look is completed by the champagne outer minutes/seconds scale and champagne subsidiary dials with black graphics that achieve the perfect colour contrast.
Hardly ever does such a sublime specimen of this rarest variation of the reference 6239 appear on the open market. It affords collectors the chance to obtain the almost unobtainable.
Reference 6239
The very first model of the ‘Daytona’ series, succeeded reference 6238 and could be found in sales catalogues in Europe as of 1964. It is thought though that the model was available in the US already in 1963. Produced in stainless steel, 14k and 18k gold, reference 6239 was the firm's first chronograph with the tachymetre scale engraved on the bezel and the subsidiary dials printed in a different colour than the main dial for better readability. The dials of the early models featured only the designation ‘Cosmograph’, referring to the outer space travels of the early 60s.
