Specialist note

The present Cosmograph Daytona is an extremely rare representative of the celebrated reference 6241 - the overall appeal of the present 6241 is further enhanced by its superb overall condition. The case displays great proportions and crisp gold mark, serial and reference numbers.

The champagne dial with black subsidiary dials and white writing is highly charismatic - all luminous accents are intact and in a shade perfectly matching the luminescence to the gold hands. Another noteworthy fact is the designation "ROW" stamped on the movement, indicating that the original destination for the watch was the North American market.

Rarity and outstanding overall condition render this Cosmograph Daytona a trophy for the collector of exceptional timepieces.

Reference 6241
Reference 6241 was introduced into the market in the early 1960s and remained in production until around 1969. Available in stainless steel, 14K and 18K gold, it was fitted with the "non-Oyster" or "non-screw down" chronograph buttons and a bezel with black plastic insert, the tachymetre scale printed in white. The dials featured the designations "Rolex Cosmograph" but not always the "Daytona".
