Rolex Daytona All Tritium
Ref.6240 Serial.16 (manufactured around 1967)
Cal.722
" Not For Sale"

The Oyster Daytona "Ref. 6240" manufactured from around 1965 to around 1969.
This model was generally a hand-wound Daytona with bump pushers.
In the 1960s, screw-in push buttons were adopted.
This is a rare model that is also known as the prototype of Ref. 6263.
The production numbers are extremely low, making it a rare model that is hard to find on the market.

We took a photo to compare it with the "Ref. 6263" (right) on display in our store.
At first glance, they look the same as the hand-wound Oyster Daytona,

The position of the three lines of “ROLEX OYSTER COSMOGRAPH” is different.

"Ref. 6240" has three lines of notation at the bottom.
"Ref.6263" also has a plain low letter dial,
It has the Sigma mark, and the font on the dial is slightly different as well.
It's very deep.

Furthermore, the Ref. 6240 is a model with a wide variety of dial variations.
Anyway, it's deep.

The case of the "Ref. 6240 (left)" has short lugs, similar to the original model "Ref. 6239".
You can see the difference when compared to “Ref. 6263 (right)”.

This one is the "MK1 bezel"

It comes with rare, well-matched parts such as the "MK0" pusher.
It's rare to come across an MK0 pusher.

The dial condition is good with no luminous defects.
This is an individual piece that is in excellent condition.
Considering it was manufactured in 1967, the condition of the dial is amazing!

In the book "The Ultimate Rolex Daytona,"
The "Ref. 6240" has the same black lettering dial as this model.
It is published under the title "THE TITANIC."

Still, it's a cool model.
