Rolex Gold Daytona "Paul Newman" Ref. 6239 from 1968

Price on request

The gold Paul Newman remains, for me, the most iconic watch of all time. The mere mention of "gold Paul Newman" evokes something. There's an immediate, almost physical effect. And while the Paul Newman is already one of the most important chronographs in history, the gold version reaches a whole new level. It's world-class, the Ferrari 250 SWB of chronographs.

We're talking about a Rolex Daytona Paul Newman reference 6239, the very first generation of Paul Newman watches produced in gold. This version is considered the purest, the most original. It's the same 6239 model that Paul Newman wore in steel, but crafted in gold, in extremely limited quantities. The gold 6239 is, in fact, one of the least produced references in the entire Paul Newman family, which explains its absolute rarity.

The example in question here is in simply incredible condition. The dial is flawless, a true 20 out of 20. The luminous markers are entirely original, never retouched, and remarkably well-preserved, exactly as one dreams of finding them. The case is barely polished, with its contours still very much in place. Everything is there, without compromise. The watch is simply incredible.

To give you an idea of its status, a comparable example in perfect condition recently sold at Phillips for over 1.3 million. This is clearly a watch that must be seen, touched, and owned at least once in a lifetime. It belongs to that very exclusive circle known as the Holy Grail of watchmaking.

It's beautiful, it's pure, it's radical. A chronograph that transcends the watch to become an absolute myth. So powerful, so obvious… so stunning.

 

 

Le Paul Newman en or reste, pour moi, la montre la plus iconique de tous les temps. Dès que l’on prononce les mots « Paul Newman en or », il se passe quelque chose. Il y a un effet immédiat, presque physique. Et si le Paul Newman est déjà l’un des chronographes les plus importants de l’histoire, la version en or atteint un tout autre niveau. C’est la classe internationale, la Ferrari 250 SWB du chronographe.

On parle ici d’une Rolex Daytona Paul Newman référence 6239, la toute première génération de Paul Newman produite en or. Cette version est considérée comme la plus pure, la plus originelle. C’est le même modèle 6239 que portait Paul Newman en acier, mais décliné en or, dans des quantités extrêmement limitées. La 6239 en or est d’ailleurs l’une des références les moins produites de toute la famille Paul Newman, ce qui explique sa rareté absolue.

L’exemplaire dont il est question ici est dans un état tout simplement incroyable. Le cadran est irréprochable, un véritable 20 sur 20. Les points lumineux sont strictement d’origine, jamais retouchés, et remarquablement conservés, exactement comme on rêve de les trouver. Le boîtier est à peine poli, avec des volumes encore très présents. Tout est là, sans compromis. La montre est tout simplement folle.

Pour donner une idée de son statut, un exemplaire comparable en état parfait s’est récemment vendu chez Phillips pour plus de 1,3 million. On est clairement face à une montre qu’il faut voir, toucher, posséder une fois dans sa vie. Elle fait partie de ce cercle très fermé que l’on appelle le Graal horloger.

C’est beau, c’est pur, c’est radical. Un chronographe qui dépasse la montre pour devenir un mythe absolu. Tellement fort, tellement évident… tellement badaboom.
