The reference also carries the strongest single piece of provenance in the cal 4130 generation. Sotheby's sold Paul Newman's own 116519 in June 2023, a black-dial example with a Z-serial case, from the property of Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman. Woodward gave it to him with the caseback engraved "DRIVE VERY SLOWLY JOANNE", the ~~same joke~~ she ~~had engraved~~ on the ~~manual-wind~~ 6239 ~~that carries his name~~.

Woodward gave it to him with the caseback engraved "DRIVE VERY SLOWLY JOANNE", the third in a run of caseback messages she put on his Daytonas: "Drive carefully me" on the [[Reference:6239|6239]] around 1968, "DRIVE SLOWLY JOANNE" on the Big Red [[Reference:6263|6263]] in 1983, and this one on a watch made nearly forty years after the first.

Away from the stone dials and the provenance lots, standard white, white-and-black and slate 116519s trade quietly. Meteorite examples sit in a band of their own, and the plain layouts move more often through the dealer market than through the major houses, which keeps the public auction record thinner than the reference's production volume would suggest.
