The present example, preserved in very good overall condition, features the highly desirable white 'Paul Newman' dial. What makes it truly unmissable is not only the dial's clarity, but also the striking tropical brown patina that has formed on all three registers due to natural aging. The watch's uniqueness and desirability are elevated to a whole new level by this uncommon transformation. This dial arrangement, which is instantly identifiable due to its exotic appearance, embodies the unique charm that has fascinated collectors and enthusiasts for many years. As the first chronograph reference to have an engraved tachymeter scale on its bezel, reference 6239, which was introduced in the early 1960s, has a unique place in Rolex history. One of the most desirable vintage Rolex chronographs, the 6239 is made with pump pushers and a sophisticated stainless steel case, later followed by gold versions. Exotic 'Paul Newman' dials, like the one on the present wristwatch, are at the top of collectors' wish lists.
