Rolex "Big" Daytona 6239
This is a rare and early Rolex Daytona reference 6239, the original Daytona reference, featuring a “Big Daytona” logo where DAYTONA is large and underneath COSMOGRAPH on the dial. I really like the way the ROLEX / COSMOGRAPH / DAYTONA text lines up in descending order like a pyramid in shape. It also has the original early “300” bezel, which differs from later examples by having 300 on the tachymeter bezel. The tritium lume is all original in the hands and the dial and the overall look is very pleasing and honest.
This watch is from circa 1966, does not include box or papers, has a manual-wind movement (Caliber 722 made by Valjoux), and is 36.5mm in diameter.
