Lot Essay
The present Cosmograph Daytona is a highly charismatic representative of the celebrated reference 6241 with a champagne dial and black subsidiary dials - the overall appeal of the present 6241 is further enhanced by its very good overall condition. The case displays great proportions and crisp gold mark, serial and reference numbers.
Reference 6241
Reference 6241 was introduced into the market in the mid-1960s and remained in production until around 1969. Available in stainless steel of 2'250 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'.
