The Rolex Daytona stands as an undisputed icon in the world of horology, a masterpiece that has cemented its place among the most celebrated timepieces ever crafted. Making its grand entrance in 1963 with reference 6239, Rolex swiftly followed with the introduction of reference 6241, distinguished by its striking acrylic bezel. Produced for a brief window between 1966 and 1970 circa, this reference remains one of the rarest iterations of the Daytona. Among these, only a select handful were graced with the legendary “Paul Newman” dial—an unmistakable hallmark of rarity, desirability, and collector prestige. The present timepiece showcases a breathtaking and unrestored, grené-textured cream-hued tri-color dial, unmistakably embodying all the defining traits of the revered “Paul Newman” dial specific to reference 6241. Yet, what sets this particular example apart is an added layer of exclusivity—graced with the elusive and highly desirable “Tiffany & Co.” signature elegantly positioned beneath the Rolex Cosmograph inscription. This detail elevates its rarity to an entirely new echelon. Paired with striking browned-hue subsidiary dials, the composition is nothing short of mesmerizing, further enhanced by the vivid red “Daytona” inscription at six o’clock and a matching red outer seconds track—elements that make this configuration one of the most sought-after among collectors. Only the most esteemed and trusted Rolex retailers, such as Tiffany & Co., were granted the rare distinction of adding their own signature to the brand’s dials, a mark of both prestige and exclusivity. For the astute connoisseur who seeks the pinnacle of rarity, this Tiffany signed Paul Newman Daytona reference 6241 stands as an undisputed prize, an extraordinary testament to the storied partnership between two of the most revered names in horology and luxury. A timepiece that transcends mere functionality, it embodies history, exclusivity, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
