Rolex 6239 Paul Newman Daytona with white panda dial, black sub-dials and red Daytona script

Some details of this nicely preserved Rolex 6239 Paul Newman PN, still one of my favourite Rolex references, together with the 6062.

Its serial number, 2 003 xxx, is very close to that of Paul Newman’s own 6239, number 2 005 325, which achieved a record price of more than US$17 million in 2017.
