Lot Essay

With Rolex fitted presentation box.

The "Blue" Daytona dials are found on late reference 6239 and early reference 6262 such as the present watch.

Originally, the word "Daytona" on the dial was white when it left the factory, but a flaw in the paint pigmentation caused a colour change over time to the very attractive light blue we see here. This configuration is today much sought-after by collectors as only a few examples have "turned" into this subtle colour.

The present "6262" is furthermore offered here in overall very good condition.
