Its relatively compact case and purposeful design remain among the purest expressions of the Daytona.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis example is particularly striking for its black dial, contrasted by three silvered registers and the arched DAYTONA signature above six oclock. The reverse-panda configuration gives the watch a distinctly different character from the more commonly encountered silver-dial examples, while applied baton indexes and warm luminous plots retain the restrained appearance of the early Cosmograph.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts 1.87 million serial number dates the watch to circa 1968. The stainless-steel case retains attractive proportions, complemented by the engraved steel tachymeter bezel and period Oyster bracelet. The dial remains appealing and honest, with strong printing and visible signs of age concentrated primarily within the subsidiary registers.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA compelling example of the early Daytona, this black-dial 6239 combines one of the references most attractive conventional dial configurations with the simplicity and proportions that define Rolexs first generation of Cosmograph chronographs.\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        ","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 37 mm \/ Steel","offer_id":50890300522735,"sku":"212378","price":65000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0207\/2436\/files\/212378-1.jpg?v=1790289683","url":"https:\/\/thekeystone.com\/products\/rolex-steel-cosmograph-daytona-ref-6242","provider":"The Keystone Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
