## Caption

The iconic Rolex Daytona reference 6239 was introduced in the United States in 1963 to supersede the reference 6238, and it was only available until 1969. The reference was the first to have the ‘Cosmograph’ dial designation and was produced with several dial configurations, such as this example which has a ‘Paul Newman’ dial.
