Notes

The Rolex 6241 had a very short production span making it a transitional model between the pump pushers and the later development of screw-down pushers. Featuring a beautiful contrasting black and white Paul Newman dial that has aged wonderfully with time turning the Daytona writing and the outer red scale into a mellow light red color similar to early red Submariners or double red Seadwellers.

Property of a Spanish collector
