Designed as the designated timekeeping tool on the wrist of professional drivers among racetracks, the three-handed Daytona chronograph is with no doubt one of the most robust icons of all time. The reference 6241 with a striking black acrylic bezel was launched in 1965 and remained in production for only 4 years until 1969. The present timepiece bearing a 2 million serial not only signifies the end of its production, it is also cased in a metal of extreme rarity, the 14 karat yellow gold case. Produced with a comparatively lower quantity to the more common 18 karat variant, the 14 karat cases were made especially for the American market and are extremely collectible. A noteworthy detail for the collector with a keen eye is the “ROW” stamp found on the Valjoux 722-1 movement, an import code indicator for the designated market. Fitted with a stunning black dial contrasting with the luxurious sheen of gold subdials, the Daytona signature sits above the hour totalizer curve which further enhance its rarity.
