A rare icon: The John Player Special Paul Newman Daytona Ref. 6241The face of the John Player Special has all the classic markers of a Paul Newman Daytona that you'd expect. There's the famous three sub-dials, three-color dial featuring the desired red, and the tachymeter scale on the bezel ?the first fake watch to do so.
But what makes the John Player Paul Newman Daytona so sought-after is its black and 14K yellow gold dial. The sub dials are also outdone with art deco numerals, sub dial crosshairs, and like all other Paul Newman Daytonas ?the top left dial is marked with 15, 30, 45, 60 rather than 20, 40, 60.
The original Cosmograph Daytona has lived through three separate series. And the original series, like this ref. 6241, was produced in very small quantities, beginning in 1963 and lasting through the 1980s. These replica watches have a four-digit model number and feature a manual-wind movement.
On top of that, this John Player Special is even rarer than most Paul Newmans. Today it's estimated that there are less than 400 of these 6241 references left, and of those, only a small fraction even have the coveted. black and gold dial. It's that rare. While it wasn't as big as Paul Newman's Paul Newman, this fake watch will typically catch a higher price tag than most Paul Newman's
