Kim Jones Spotted Wearing Rolex Pre-Daytona Reference 6238 with Rare Gun Metal Dial
Inserted 04/05/2023
The Rolex reference 6238 predates the Cosmograph Daytona name entirely — produced from roughly 1963 to 1969, it carried no 'Daytona' printing on the dial and no tachymeter bezel, making it the purest, most understated expression of Rolex's early racing chronograph. The 'Gun Metal' dial variant is among the rarest color configurations known to collectors. Dior Men's artistic director Kim Jones chose this piece for the Met Gala in New York, pairing serious vintage horological credentials with fashion's most-watched red carpet.
Kim Jones Spotted Wearing Stainless Steel Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16550
Inserted 03/12/2022
The Rolex Explorer II ref. 16550 'cream dial' is one of the most chemically accidental rarities in vintage Rolex collecting: late-production examples from around 1988 saw their originally white dials oxidize to a warm ivory tone, a defect that collectors now prize above almost everything else in the Explorer family. Fendi creative director Kim Jones — a man whose aesthetic radar is famously precise — surfaces wearing exactly one of these coveted examples, quietly confirming that serious watch taste and serious fashion taste tend to occupy the same orbit.
