Rolex 6239 Daytona with white dial and black sub-dials next to its caseback on a green mat

A Rolex 6239 Daytona with the three-colour white dial, the combination often called the real Paul Newman, is special in itself and not easy to find in sublime condition like this one. This example was kept for a while in my own collection.

The photographs were taken during inspection at the bench.
