The Rolex Daytona 'Paul Newman' Reference 6241, introduced in 1968, is a horological legend that derives its name from the iconic American actor and race car driver, Paul Newman, who famously wore this model. What sets it apart is its distinctive "Paul Newman" dial, featuring artful and contrasting sub-dials with block markers and square-ended, crosshair-style subsidiary hands. This design element made the watch instantly recognizable and highly sought after by collectors. Powered by the reliable Valjoux 722 movement, it functioned as a precision chronograph, favored by motorsport enthusiasts. The Reference 6241 'Paul Newman' has transcended its utilitarian roots to become one of the most desirable and valuable vintage Rolex watches, embodying the timeless allure of both the Daytona collection and the legendary actor who made it famous.
