JPS denotes a Paul Newman dial on a yellow gold case where the dial is black and the sub-dial surrounds and hour markers are gold-toned, echoing the black-and-gold livery of the John Player Special-sponsored Lotus Formula 1 team of the 1970s. Mario Andretti took the 1978 Drivers' Championship in a Lotus 79 in those colours. The JPS nickname is a collector invention applied retroactively; Rolex never used it.

The ~~6241 in~~ 14k yellow gold is the ~~main~~ JPS host ~~and the watch most collectors mean when they say JPS Daytona~~. The cited sources do not establish a factory production total for the gold 6241 JPS configuration. The same look also appears on some gold 6263s, though those are more often described under the Lemon branch.

The cited literature most often identifies the 14k yellow-gold 6241 as the JPS host. The cited sources do not establish a factory production total for the gold 6241 JPS configuration. The same look also appears on some gold 6263s, though those are more often described under the Lemon branch.
