DAYTONA MODEL “JUMBO DAYTONA LOGO”, REF. 6241, CASE NO. 1'534'066

The present Cosmograph Daytona is an extremely rare representative of the celebrated reference 6241, distinguished by the so-called “Jumbo logo” dial, referring to the large DAYTONA designation below the signature Rolex, Cosmograph, the size unmistakably larger than normally found on this model. Examples featuring this very particular three-line signature are hardly ever making a public appearance.

Reference 6241 was introduced into the market in the mid-1960s and remained in production until around 1969. Available in stainless steel of 2250 pieces, 300 pieces in 18k gold and 450 pieces in 14k gold, it was fitted with the 'non-Oyster' or 'non-screw down' chronograph buttons and a bezel with black plastic insert, the tachymeter scale printed in white. The dials featured the designations 'Rolex Cosmograph' but not always the "Daytona".
