Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Reference 6239 Unpolished

This is a rare Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona Reference 6239 with a spectacular white dial. The first “Paul Newman” exotic dials we see on the Daytona reference 6239 are in the 1.6M range. From my experience, those are all black. Starting at the 1.7M serial range, we see white-dial “Paul Newmans” like the one Paul himself wore which was slightly later 2.005M serial that went for $17.8M at auction in October 2017.

Overall, you could dedicate years looking for a beautiful early “Paul Newman'“ dial like the present example. It is just not something you can find or source. We believe the case is unpolished. It is truly one of the most exceptional “Paul Newman” Daytona examples I’ve held. The serial number is 1.78 million. This 1.7M serial range is also distinguished by the all white register hands. The later and earlier examples had white gold exposed hands at the post. The all white register hands give it a sportier look.

We do not know the service history, but it is running well. The watch does not with box and papers. It was just pressure tested and passed a water resistant test of 3 bar.
