 Lemon dial attribution on gold Paul Newmans is the third open question. Bob Ridley's 2017 Revolution bench dissection records that gold-case Paul Newman Daytonas (6263 / 6265) are always the Lemon variant, while some auction catalogues continue to list gold-case PNs under other colour-type labels. Whether "Lemon" is Rolex's own factory designation or a collector-settled retroactive label has not been resolved in the published literature.
