ROLEX, DAYTONA REF. 6241, A STEEL MANUAL-WINDING CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH
Daytona Reference 6241 was introduced in 1965, and remained in production for 5 years only, discontinued in 1969. It is distinguished by a number of traits which make it one of the most appealing vintage Rolex references: it holds historical interest being the first time the combination of black bezel and pump pushers were seen on a Daytona, and the short production run renders it one of the rarest Daytona models produced by Rolex.
