[...With the Cosmograph model, Rolex offered an exotic dial as an option. The dial had a red outer track and the subsidiary dials featured square markers. Also, the 9 O'clock subsidiary dial had the minute tracker 15,30,45,60 (Fig. 5) instead of 20,40,60 for the second on the regular dial (Fig. 4). It is also believed that the 6263 and 6265 did not have a red outer track and some did not have the words Daytona around the subsidiary dial at 6 O'clock. Some dismiss the latter exotic dials as an invention of forgers. We believe that indeed the latter dial existed. The Italians collectors quickly nicknamed this exotic dial; "the Paul Newman Daytona". The origin of the name can be traced back to the actor, Paul Newman was wearing that watch during the filming of Winning and also in his private life.

The Exotic Paul Newman dial Daytona is considered a much more rare watch than the regular dial and therefore commands a much higher premium among collectors.

These are the 4 possible combinations for the Exotic dial

6239 & 6241

Black dial/white subdial/white outer track background/red track.
White dial/black subdial/black outer track background/red track (Fig. 5).

6263, 6265, 6262, 6264

Black dial/white subdial/white outer track background/black track.
White dial/black subdial/black outer track background/white track. ...]

Und wer hat jetzt Recht?
