Rolex Daytona 6241 "Petit Tiffany"
The Rolex Daytona 6241 “Petit Tiffany” stands among the rarest and most coveted vintage chronographs ever produced—a timepiece that transcends horology and enters the realm of cultural and historical significance. Produced during the late 1960s, this reference embodies the golden age of Rolex sports watches and represents a pinnacle of collectibility, distinguished by its co-signed Tiffany & Co. dial—an exceedingly rare detail that elevates its desirability to the highest level among collectors.
The 6241 was one of the earliest Daytonas to feature the acrylic bezel insert engraved with a tachymeter scale, a defining characteristic that lent the watch a bold yet elegant presence. The stainless steel 37mm case retains the clean, purposeful lines of the classic Daytona, complemented by pump pushers that offer a charming nod to the early era of Rolex chronographs. Beneath the crystal lies a striking black “exotic” dial—often associated with the Paul Newman style—its Art Deco numerals, contrasting sub-dials, and the discreet Tiffany & Co. signature above the sub-register combining to create a dial layout of extraordinary rarity and visual balance.
Powering this masterpiece is the Rolex-Valjoux 722 manual-winding chronograph movement, renowned for its precision, reliability, and robust construction. Despite being over half a century old, this movement remains a hallmark of mechanical excellence and a testament to Rolex’s dedication to engineering perfection long before the era of automatic chronographs.
The presence of the Tiffany & Co. signature on the dial not only confirms its original sale through the legendary New York jeweler but also symbolizes an era when double-signed watches were reserved for the brand’s most exclusive clientele. Today, such examples represent the ultimate convergence of provenance, craftsmanship, and prestige.
This Rolex Daytona 6241 “Tiffany & Co.” is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a dual-branded icon—an irreplaceable artifact that embodies the artistry and allure of vintage Rolex. It is not merely a watch, but a piece of horological and cultural history.
