I agree with Mal Fuller on the early 60s being the earliest true Magnavox color set. There were Magnavox-branded RCA clones, and the Sentinel probably was the first of those in the Magnavox family. Magnavox and Zenith didn't seem to like to license out any RCA patents from Sarnoff, and they've always kind of done their own thing. But with color TV, that was nearly impossible, so they probably had to give in and pay up to Sarnoff after waiting a decade to think it over.
