Rolex Paul Newman Tropical Daytona Reference 6239 Unpolished

This is a rare Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona Reference 6239 with a spectacular white dial with tropical subregisters.

The tropical dial is one of the most attractive tropical dial chronograph models I have ever held. It is just out of this world!

The case appears to be unpolished. It is paired on an American made oval link Rolex bracelet made by JB Champion - which adds a bit of heft to the watch on the wrist. The serial number is 2.00M dating to circa 1969. The serial is close to Paul Newman’s former watch and very close to Paul Newman’s own Paul Newman Daytona that sold for $17.8 million USD in 2018.

The watch does not come with box and papers. I purchased it from a coin store in Wisconsin who got it from the original owner’s family last year. As a proud Wisconsinite, I was thrilled such an amazing watch out of Wisconsin. I found the watch on a strap and added the Jubilee bracelet, which is unpolished and very attractive. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.

This is a rare opportunity to own one of the nicest Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytonas on the planet. Is it expensive? Yes. A similar tropical Paul Newman Daytona reference 6241 sold a few weeks ago in NYC for over $900,000 and back in 2018 a similar 6239 with extremely close serial number sold for 951,000 CHF in Geneva in more worn condition. These are priced in line with those examples.

Is it the best? In my opinion, yes.

PRICE: $950,000 (Item: SBUXYT3909)
