About the Rolex Daytona 6239 (1967)
This Rolex Daytona reference 6239 is a historically significant example from 1967, featuring the iconic inverted panda dial – silver with black subdials – fully original and correct for the era. The stainless steel bezel with engraved 300 scale is the precise version used on 6239 models from 1965 to 1968.
Its manual Valjoux 722 movement, pump pushers, and the absence of crown guards make it a textbook Daytona from this transitional period. Even more remarkable is the riveted stretch bracelet (ref. 7205) with end links 71 and clasp dated 7/63 – a rare and highly desirable configuration that reflects Rolex’s practice of using existing stock during assembly.
An exceptional vintage Daytona, fully original and coeval in all its components – from dial and bezel to movement and bracelet. A collectible piece with strong historical value and technical integrity.
