The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is among the most appreciated and recognized chronograph models by any manufacturer. When it comes fitted with the rare so-called Paul Newman dial, its rarity, aesthetic appeal and collectability are profoundly increased. This dial, distinguished by the three dimensional construction – with sunken subsidiary dials and sunken outer chapter ring – was an alternative dial offered to clients at the time. Ironically, this variation was not appreciated by the market at the time of its production. It took decades for collectors to prize this "exotic" dial variation. Paul Newman himself wore a reference 6239 with this dial, supposedly a gift from his wife.
The present example is an early version of the Paul Newman dial, correct for the 1.8 million case number of this timepiece. It is distinguished by the T Swiss T designation presenting taller letters in the center and shorter at the ends.
