Lot Essay
Carefully cherished throughout the years, the present specimen is a rare opportunity for the discerning Rolex collector to become the owner of one of the rarest Daytona iterations ever produced – the 14k gold reference 6265.
Beyond its extreme rarity, the timepiece will captivate the heart of every Rolex enthusiast with its unrivaled looks and astonishes through its beautiful and very well preserved champagne dial and contrasting engine-turned black subsidiary. The powerful look of the watch is further boosted by the patina which spreads like a veil over the bezel, sides and case back - only possible by being unworn and impeccably preserved. Furthermore, the watch features crisp numbers between the lugs and legible hallmarks to the back of its case.
A must have for collectors, the Rolex reference 6265 was launched around 1970 and is distinguished by its metal bezel with engraved tachymeter scale, screw down chronograph buttons and calibre 727 movement. Manufactured over a period of approximately 17 years, gold examples of the reference were produced in scarce volume, estimated to approximately 10% of the overall production, and were made in 14k as well as 18k gold. Only visible on gold iterations of the reference, the dial of the timepiece is bestowed with the chronometer certification text, “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” at 12 o’clock as well as the “Cosmograph” writing at 6 o’clock.
