Price Upon Request

Introduced in 1963 and named after the legendary Daytona Speedway, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona was conceived to embody the golden age of motorsport. The reference 6241, introduced in 1965 and produced for only four years, marked a pivotal evolution in the model’s early history—distinguished by its elegant black acrylic bezel with white tachymeter scale, a feature that added visual depth and enhanced legibility.
The present example, crafted in 14K yellow gold, represents one of the most exclusive iterations of this early Daytona reference. It houses the manual-winding caliber 722 and features pump pushers without the “Oyster” designation, preserving the pure vintage aesthetic of the first-generation chronographs. The black dial with contrasting champagne-pinkish registers—often referred to by collectors as “everose” color tones, exudes striking contrast and warmth, accentuated by ocher luminous markers and crisp gilt printing. The three-body case retains its robust proportions, with the accompanying 14K yellow gold Jubilee bracelet underscoring its beauty. The combination of black and gold, coupled with its rarity, make this example a captivating representation of Rolex’s earliest racing chronographs.
