Rolex Daytona Ref. 6241 ‘The Bumblebee’

This precious-metal Daytona has a champagne exotic dial whose aged honey tone led to the collecting nickname “The Bumblebee”. It sold at Phillips’ Daytona Ultimatum auction on 12 May 2018 for CHF 516,500. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Phillips source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
