Descriptif du lot
Among the most iconic and coveted wristwatches in vintage horology, Rolex chronographs fitted with so-called 'Paul Newman' dials rank among the ultimate prizes for collectors.
The present example, a timeless favorite, stands out for its highly sought-after white 'Paul Newman' dial, which is exquisitely contrasted with black subsidiary registers. Instantly recognisable by its distinctive dial configuration, the present timepiece belongs to the reference 6239, introduced in the early 1960s as the first Rolex chronograph to feature an engraved tachymeter scale on the bezel. Produced with pump chronograph pushers and primarily in stainless steel, later also in gold, the reference includes among its most desirable variants those fitted with the exotic 'Paul Newman' dial.
