Notes

The reference 6239 was the first reference to feature the so-called Paul Newman dial. The bridges tamped with 5 lines appeared in the caliber 722 and would become the standard until the end of the manual Daytona production. The stainless steel bezel used on references 6239, 6262 and 6265 were engraved and filled with black paint. The current example is fitted with an attractive black dial (silver was also available) and is considered by many the purest version of the chronographs, this particular example is interesting as it was towards the end of the production and already featured the word Daytona on the dial which would become standard for later references. La référence 6239 fut la première référence à être présentée avec un cadran Paul Newman. Le pont également gravé sur 5 lignes est apparu sur le calibre 722 et deviendra la norme jusqu' à la fin de la production des Daytonas manuels. La lunette acier a été produite pour les références 6239, 6262 et 6265 et celle-ci est gravée puis remplie de peinture. Cet exemple est équipé d'un cadran noir en excellent état avec ces points lumineux présentant une belle patine, sa lunette originale graduée à 300 unités et est considérée par les collectionneurs comme la version la plus pure des chronographes. Ce modèle diffère de la majorité des 6239, car produite vers la fin de la série de cette référence, elle comporte le mot Daytona sur le cadran, inscription qui allait se généraliser sur les références à venir.
