Rolex’s Cosmograph Daytona is one of the most iconic and coveted wristwatches among collectors today, with a legendary evolution. 

The first to bear the official name Daytona Cosmograph, reference 6239 debuted in 1963 and distinguished itself with a stainless steel tachymeter bezel and sub-dials sporting inverted colors compared to the main dial. This departure from the monochromatic scheme and the addition of the tachymeter scale enhanced the dial’s legibility and gave it the sporty aesthetic we see here. 

This example dates to 1967, retains its paperwork from new, and stars in our online Fine Watches sale at #SothebysNewYork. The online auction is open for bidding through 11 June, presented in partnership with silverseacruises. Link in bio. #SothebysWatches #Rolex #RolexDaytona
