Rolex Big Daytona Reference 6239 Unpolished

The Rolex Daytona reference 6239 is the original and earliest reference of the Daytona. This example features a “Big Daytona” logo where DAYTONA is large and underneath COSMOGRAPH on the dial. I really love the way the ROLEX / COSMOGRAPH / DAYTONA text lines up in descending order like a pyramid in shape.

This example also has the original early “300” Mark 2 reference 6239 bezel, which differs from later examples by having 300 on the tachymeter bezel and “UNITS PER HOUR” between 12 and 2 o’clock, whereas later bezels have it by 3 o’clock. This is the second version of the steel bezel found on the reference 6239 and the earliest Mark 1 examples have a 275 and dashes rather than dots next to the numbers.

The case features a 1.62 million serial number dating it to circa 1967. The case appears to be unpolished. This example was previously owned by a fighter pilot. He had great vision and purchased an amazing Rolex. It is paired on an extremely rare and original bracelet with 71N end links dating to 1967.
