The history of the Rolex Daytona is an interesting one in which this watch developed along parallel lines to the Submariner. Both watches were originally designed for "working men" and served a particular function as timepieces. While the Submariner was specifically built to withstand the pressure of underwater diving, the Daytona, named for the fa...

Rolex Daytona Paul Newman Reference 6239
This is the one that started them all; the actual model worn by Paul Newman, until he passed. It is the most common and least expensive of the "Paul Newman Daytona's." The 6239 features a 300 units-per-hour, stainless steel bezel; pump pushers for the chronometer, and a Valjoux 722, 17 jewels, 18,000 beats-per-hour movement. Like the modern Daytona, it was available in both white and black dials. The dials were a three color dial, consisting of black, white, and red, and featuring the word "D...
Rolex Daytona Paul Newman Reference 6241
The 6241 reference is very similar to its 6239 predecessors in most respects. Again, the 6241 sports the Valjoux 722 movement and a three-color dial. But, and an oddity to this model is that it was available with pump pushers or screw-down chronograph buttons. It is also this model that the word "Daytona" makes its debut on the dial, and still takes up prominent residence there to this very day! Collectors seem to prefer this model, as they are rarer than the 6239, so expect them to command a...
Rolex Daytona Paul Newman Reference 6262
Following the mantra, "if it aint broke, don't fix it"; Rolex made very few changes to this model, aesthetically. Mechanically, however, it was given an entirely new movement with the new Valjoux 727. The noticeable difference to this movement is the increase of the beats-per-hour from 18,000 to 21,600. The 6262 also featured the metal bezel again, a tri-color dial (though it also had a two-color dial available, as well), and pump pushers. It was only manufactured for one year, from 1970-1971...
Paul Newman’s name became inextricably linked to the Daytona when his wife Joanne Woodward gave him the watch when he took up racing in 1972. He is said to have worn the watch constantly until his death in 2008. Incredibly, the watch cost only $210 when it was first produced. Today, it is one of the most sought-after of all collectible Rolex models...
