Exceptional quality ‘Musketeer’ dial. Truly an amazing 6264 Paul Newman.

A Rare Icon for the Discerning Collector. Step into the rarefied world of vintage chronographs with the Daytona 6264, a reference that marks the final chapter of the pump-pusher Cosmographs before the shift to screw-down.

But what truly sets this piece apart is its dial—the elusive, impeccably preserved Paul Newman “Musketeer”. A term whispered among serious collectors, this dial is famed for its distinctive sub-dials that evoke a sense of bold elegance, reminiscent of the swashbuckling flair from which its nickname is drawn. Instead of entirely ridged, the counters have a smooth and slightly sloped periphery. Providing even more depth, together with the step where the minutetrack is found in red printing.

Produced for a very short run; this 6264 represents a perfect storm of rarity, transitional engineering, and appealing design. Hence, among elite collectors, this configuration is regarded as one of the most unusual and sought-after exotic dials in history. Its bold, graphic layout and creamy, perfectly patinated tritium elements make it an aesthetic masterpiece and a cornerstone of mid-century chronograph design.

This piece dates back to the very late 60’s (2.37m) serial and is fresh to the market. It comes on its period correct riveted Oyster bracelet. The Valjoux 727 movement offers precision, while the pump pushers maintain the classic Daytona profile. The case remains strong and the serial and reference number are clearly readible.

A slice of horological mythology worn on the wrist. Whether you’re curating a museum-level collection or looking for a crown jewel, the Paul Newman Musketeer 6264 doesn’t just meet the mark—it defines it.
