			The 6239 inherits its case and Cal. 722 movement from the [[Reference:pre-daytona-chronographs\|pre-Daytona chronograph]] line that runs from the late-1930s Antimagnetique through the 6238. It is the first reference to carry the Cosmograph Daytona name on the dial.

	The 6239 is the first true Cosmograph Daytona. It moves the tachymetric scale off the dial and onto an engraved steel bezel, and brings contrasting sub-dial colours to the Rolex chronograph line for the first time. Production runs from 1963 to 1969, overlapping the late pump-pusher 6238 it replaced and the early screw-pusher 6240 it ushered in. Roughly 14,000 examples in steel and about 300 in 18k yellow gold put the 6239 alongside the 6263 as one of the two foundational Daytona references in collector terms.
