SIGNED ROLEX, COSMOGRAPH, DAYTONA MODEL, REF. 6264, CASE NO. 2’802’753, CIRCA 1971

At the beginning of the 1970s, Rolex introduced two new Cosmograph Daytona models; the references 6262 and 6264. They differ in terms of the bezel: in metal with engraved tachymeter graduations for the reference 6262, with black plastic insert and white printed graduations for the reference 6264.
Reference 6264 was produced mainly in stainless steel, then in 18k gold and the most rare examples were cased in 14k gold – such as the present model - and was made exclusively for the American market.
