UNCRATE: Wind VIntage’s Rolex Rolex Paul Newman Tropical Daytona 6239
UNCRATE recently highlighted Wind VIntage’s Rolex Rolex Paul Newman Tropical Daytona reference 6239.
Produced from roughly 1963 to 1969, the Rolex Daytona Reference 6239 is perhaps the most sought-after vintage Rolex model. Even more rare are examples sporting an "exotic" dial — aka the Paul Newman — with Art Deco numerals and a contrasting outer minute track. And rarer still are examples where the black subdials and outer track have aged to a tropical brown. This specific example is among the latter, and is in exquisite shape for its age. Its 36mm stainless steel case appears to be unpolished, and is paired with a similarly unpolished American-made oval link Rolex bracelet made by JB Champion; its serial number is very close to Paul Newman's own Paul Newman Daytona that sold for $17.8 million USD in 2018, making it a highly desirable addition to any collection.
