Made mostly for the US market, the 6241 was only produced for a period of three years featuring pump pushers and the iconic black bezel. Scholars estimate that in total about 2250 pieces were produced but 14k versions represent approximately only 400 pieces. Versions fitted with a Paul Newman dial probably represent about 10 percent meaning about only 50 pieces were ever produced. This fresh to the market example has been kept in excellent condition with reference numbers and serial clearly visible as well as 14k gold engravings, the dial in excellent original condition showing no defects, an icon in Daytona collecting.
