The reference 6239 was the very first model of the celebrated "Daytona" series and could be found in sales catalogues in Europe as of 1964, though it is thought that the model was available in the US already in 1963.
This model was available in stainless steel, 14k and 18k gold, reference 6239 was the firm's first chronograph with the tachometer scale engraved on the bezel and the subsidiary dials printed in a different colour than the main dial for better readability.
The present watch is a notable example and its serial number dates to circa 1966. The balance bridge of the movement is stamped ROW – Rolex’s import code for the United States indicating that this watch was first sold in the US market.
