Rolex Daytona 6239

About this watch

The Rolex Daytona Cosmograph was designed in 1963 to meet the needs of professional racing drivers, with a reliable chronograph and bezel with tachymetric scale, allowing drivers to measure average speeds of up to 400 MPH. The name is a nod to Daytona, Florida—the home of a passion for speed and motor racing that emerged in the early 20th century. The relationship between Rolex and motor racing strengthened in 2013 when the watchmaker decided to enter the world of Formula 1, as Global Partner and Official Timepiece of the exhilarating sport. This special vintage reference 6239 Daytona is a rare piece that dates back to 1969, still featuring the non-screw down pushers from the first Cosmograph and sporting a clean black and silver panda dial.
