6239 Paul Newman's Newman

Sold

This configuration of the Paul Newman watches, the 6239 with its superb three color white dial was until October 2017 still completely underrated in comparison to other Newman models. But now finally it got the attention that it really deserves due to the legendary sale by Aurel Bacs of the real Newman for 17,7 Million. To find one of these examples, in the same configuration as the real Newman and in superb condition is not the easiest task to manage. The present example of this legendary reference is in superb condition. An extraordinary clean dial, striking colors and matching original lume. The case is in very strong and sharp shape, which is very important as well the same as the movement. The more, this 6239 Paul Newman’s Newman was built in the same year as the one worn by Mr. Newman himself and as well with the same serial range! This 6239 “the real Newman” is certainly a great addition to every distinguished gentleman collector.
