Rolex Daytona 6262/6239

Rolex, very rare and exceptionally well-preserved Paul Newman Daytona, 1971 Stainless steel. D 36.5 mm. Reference No.: 6262 / 6239, reference 6262 / 6239, is one of the rarest Daytona models. This model was only produced for about a year and featured an improved escapement system. Case No.: 2624630, with original tachymeter bezel ‘200’, the plexiglass with a small crack at 10 o'clock Dial: ‘Paul Newman’ black dial with silver-plated subdials and minute track, signed: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, tritium luminous hands and hour markers Movement: Manual-winding chronograph movement, Cal. 727 Band: Original Rolex Oyster bracelet No. 7835 / 19 with folded bracelet links and end links No. 271, folding clasp dated 2 / 71. End links and folding clasp engraved with the company logo GEZE Accessories: None This Daytona comes from its first owner and has never been offered for sale to the public. In the early 1970s, GEZE was the official supplier to the Swiss national ski team and presented the ski squad with Rolex Daytona watches. The Oyster bracelets were engraved with the logo of the leading manufacturer of ski bindings at the time. This collector's item is in exceptionally good condition: the case has signs of wear but has never been polished. All edges and surfaces are intact. The dial is immaculate with a very subtle and even patina on the silver-plated subdials, and the tritium dots and hands are in their original condition. Included is an almost untouched Rolex Daytona chronograph movement.
