Rolex Daytona Ref. 6241 ‘John Player Special’

This 14k yellow-gold Daytona carries a black exotic dial nicknamed “John Player Special” by collectors for its black-and-gold appearance. Phillips sold this case-numbered example for $1,803,400. 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.
