| 1.3M-1.6M (~1966-1967) || 1966-1967 || Cosmograph, Paul Newman exotic (Mk1) || tritium || 7205 || 271 || Introduction. Per Hodinkee Reference Points the Paul Newman exotic dial appeared on 6241 from 1966 — consistent with the 6239 Paul Newman emergence period.

| 1.6M-1.9M (~1968) || 1968 || Cosmograph, Paul Newman exotic || tritium || 7205 || 271 || Mid-production. Yellow-gold variant runs in parallel with steel — JPS dial sits in this batch per Revolution.

| 1.9M-2.2M (~1969) || 1969 || Cosmograph, Paul Newman exotic || tritium || 7205, 7835 (transitional, late 1969) || 271 || Final year. The 7205 → 7835 folded bracelet transition starts at the very end of 1969 per chrono-shop / Wind Vintage; not all 6241s would have shipped on 7835 originally. Mode inferred — needs Pucci Papaleo confirmation.

The 6241 carries fewer dial variants than its longer-running siblings, but enough that a table earns its place. The Paul Newman exotic dial appears on 6241 from 1966 onward and is documented across the same Mark progression that the 6239 went through, although the per-mark forensics on 6241 PN dials are less developed in the literature than on 6239 PN. The JPS yellow-gold variant is the dial that makes this reference collectible above its sibling lineup.
