Rolex Daytona 6241

The Rolex Daytona 6241, produced from the late 1960s to early 1970s, is a highly collectible vintage chronograph, instantly recognizable by its 37mm case, pump pushers, and black acrylic bezel insert. Powered by the manual-wind Valjoux 722, it stands out for its rare exotic Paul Newman dials, which feature Art Deco numerals and contrasting sub-dials. Among these, the ultra-rare “John Player Special” edition—an 18k yellow gold model with a black Paul Newman dial—has achieved legendary status, named after the iconic Lotus Formula 1 livery. With its short production run and mythical dial variants, the Daytona 6241 is regarded as one of the most desirable references in Rolex’s racing-inspired lineage.
